LARAMIE, Wyo. — University of Wyoming Men’s Basketball Head Coach Sundance Wicks announced Tuesday that Patrick Stacey will be joining the Cowboys’ staff as general manager.

“It’s a new era of college athletics and Coach Stacy will help our program win in the margins of player evaluation, portal management, recruitment, development, retention and the N.I.L. space,” Wicks said in a UW Athletics release. “Not only does Coach Stacy bring a modernized approach to all the above, but he is also extremely gifted in the art of advanced analytics and scouting while blending those insights with conventional basketball strategy.”

According to the University of Wyoming Athletics Department, Stacey brings scouting and recruiting experience to the team from his background as founder of Jam Basketball Intelligence, a service that builds reports on strengths and weaknesses of competing teams in collegiate basketball.

He also has national-level sports experience as a baseball operations associate for the Chicago White Sox.

“I’m very excited to be a member of this coaching staff,” Stacy said in the UW Athletics release. “The State of Wyoming is so passionate about Wyoming Athletics and I’m grateful for this opportunity. I want to thank head coach Sundance Wicks and I’m excited to get to work and help put our players in a position to win.”
