In this powerful episode of The Art of Rebounding, host Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with Coach Ricardo Patton or Coach Pat, an accomplished basketball coach and leader whose journey is rooted in faith, execution, and purpose. Coach Pat shares his unconventional path from working in television to becoming a collegiate coach, stepping out on faith to move his family across the country, and ultimately helping rebuild winning programs at the highest levels. He opens up about what it really takes to lead — beyond the wins — including trusting the right voice, being coachable, and executing when it matters most. The conversation also dives into Coach Pat’s close relationship with Chauncey Billups, leadership development through the Porter-Billups Leadership Academy, and his commitment to serving underserved youth by creating opportunity, discipline, and belief. This episode is a masterclass in leadership, faith, resilience, and execution — on the court and in life.
