The 2011-2012 season will be the third for Pat Sullivan as a member of the Yellow Jacket coaching staff, where he serves as an assistant coach for the men’s basketball team. Sullivan is also beginning his first year as an assistant coach for the DC men’s golf program and will start his tenure as an academic support coordinator for Defiance College.

Sullivan came to DC after graduating from Denison in the spring of 2009 with a degree in economics and communication. During his time with the Big Red, Sullivan spent four years as a member of the men’s basketball team and played two seasons on the men’s soccer squad.

The Loveland, Ohio, native excelled on the planks for Denison as a three-year starter at the point guard position. Sullivan led Denison in points and assists en route to being named Honorable Mention All-North Coast Athletic Conference as a junior, before starting all 26 games as a team captain during his senior campaign.

Along with his time on the basketball court, Sullivan spent three years on the Denison Student-Athlete Advisory Council and was a member of the academic Dean’s List.

Since joining the Yellow Jackets in 2009-2010, Sullivan earned a master’s degree in education and has helped guide the DC men’s basketball program to a 36-18 record, an appearance in the 2010 NCAA National Tournament and the 26th conference championship on the hardwood for Defiance.
