Patrick’s wife, Jody Lavin-Patrick, was named the Virginia Independent School Girls’ Basketball Association Division I Coach of the Year three weeks later. It was her third time honored as Coach of the Year. "Both of us getting something in the same year could be unique," she commented. "You don’t see that every day. Dick is way overdue. He has been slugging away, so I'm glad that his colleagues gave him this honor.
