After coaching the Florida A&M men's basketball team for one year, Patrick Crarey II has moved on to become the head coach at Grambling State in Louisiana, replacing former coach Donte Jackson. Despite the success of leading FAMU to the NCAA Tournament, Crarey found it difficult to leave the program he had helped grow.
During his tenure at FAMU, Crarey faced a contract dispute that influenced his decision to join Grambling State, where he was impressed by the unity and determination of the administration. Despite the emotional departure, Crarey is grateful for the support he received and looks forward to facing his former team on the court in upcoming SWAC matchups.
