Item Description
Over the last five seasons, Patrick Chambers has reinvigorated Penn State basketball. Since being named the 12th head coach in program history June 6, 2011, the Philly native quickly energized his players and staff, as well as the Penn State fan base with his passion, enthusiasm and his team’s all-out style of play.
The 2015-16 freshman class - the first Top 30 recruiting class in PSU history - clearly illustrates the progress Chambers and his staff have made during their time in Happy Valley. The future continues to be bright as Penn State will welcome a four-member consensus Top 15 class (at the time of signing) to begin their Nittany Lion careers in 2016-17.
During his time with the Nittany Lions, Chambers has guided five players to a combined seven All-Big Ten honors, including Tim Frazier's first-team nod in 2011 and most recently with Brandon Taylor’s third-team selection in 2016. Frazier ended his career as the all-time leader in assists at Penn State – a record Chambers also holds to this date at his alma mater Philadelphia. When D.J. Newbill’s PSU career ended, he was the fourth-ranked scorer in Nittany Lion history, after just three seasons, and Ross Travis has the third-most rebounds of any player to ever don the Blue and White.
To Penn State students, Chambers is known around campus for his infectious energy. He ordered up a pair of golf carts and began making spur-of-the-moment trips around the University Park campus distributing t-shirts. In his first few years, he visited amusement parks, pep rallies, student groups, and classes and threw out first pitches. Chambers even went as far as to go behind the counter to serve free Big Macs to students at State College’s downtown McDonald’s and donned a Penn State football jersey and helmet to fire up the famed “Nittanyville” student campout.
