“It’s something vital to me to have a shooting coach here on staff that can work with me every single day. Obviously, I had one before, but he lived in L.A., and then, I was playing 38 minutes a game, so it was tough to really focus on the mechanics. Now, with Pete, I’m able to work on the mechanics every day, even if it’s just a little bit. It’s a feeling of repetition.”

“I feel like when you have somebody telling you what you need out of your shot and you trust him, it’s big time. I feel like for all of the guys he’s been huge.”
“It’s just small technique things. Like if you’re dropping your hand down or you’re turning a little bit. Just anything you’re doing off with your shot, he points out and it helps.”
~ Deuce McBride, to the New York Post, May 2026
“Not really tweaks, but I finally started to learn my shot. Before everybody just said I could really shoot, but nobody ever taught me how to learn my shot. I kind of just shot the ball. And he’s been a big help in like helping me learn my shot.”

“I’ve worked with a few different coaches. I think Chip Engelland when I was in Oklahoma was a big one for me, and he gave me a lot of confidence going forward. Then my first year in Chicago, I had a guy called Peter Patton that I worked with a lot, and he was another one.”
“I’ve been very fortunate to be around guys who know how to instill confidence in you, tweak mechanics and kind of get you in the right direction.”

“Peter has been an integral part of our physical and skill development for our players. His attention to detail, knowledge of bio mechanics, implementation of appropriate progressions, and the highest levels of communication add to the success of the development of our athletes. Peter has also been instrumental in our return to play protocols, and has been vital to our ability to return injured players to performance at the highest level. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter for his ability to positively influence, skill, development, and overall basketball acumen.”

I’m incredibly grateful to Coach Patton for all that he’s done for me and for the countless other players he’s mentored over the years. He’s not just a coach but also a teacher.
