Patty Mills, the new UH men’s basketball general manager.
NBA champion and five-time Olympian Patty Mills has joined the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa men’s basketball program as general manager. In this new role, Mills will support student-athlete development and contribute to recruiting, fundraising and community outreach.
A 16-year NBA veteran and current LA Clippers guard, Mills has deep ties to Hawaiʻi, having lived on Oʻahu’s North Shore during off-seasons for the past decade. His connection to UH began in 2007, when he earned MVP honors at the Rainbow Classic as a freshman at Saint Mary’s.
Off the court, Mills is known for his global advocacy and community work, particularly with Indigenous Australian communities.
He also sponsored the 2022 Patty Mills North Shore Classic, which the Rainbow Warriors won, and now looks to bring his passion for culture, leadership and service to UH.
“This role is not only a professional milestone, but a personal one as well,” Mills said. “I can’t wait to get to work alongside this incredible staff to give back to the game, grow the game and help build something special for Hawaiʻi basketball.”
