She was relieved of her coaching duties on March 9, 2014. She is the all-time winningest coach in school history. On December 20, 2008 she won her 250th career game. A native of Rockford, Ill., Patterson graduated from Rockford West High School then attended Rockford College, where she was a member of the Rockford College Hall of Fame after playing field hockey from 1975-79. Although she never played basketball in college, she later went on to coach basketball. In the 2005 season, she led the Wildcats to a WNIT championship win. Their 24-10 team marked the fifth consecutive 20 win season under coach Patterson. The 2004 team went 24-8 including 12-4 in the conference, and finished 16th in the nation, by the AP poll. Over the last five years her teams have gone 70-10 on their home court, despite off-court turmoil involving the emotional abuse of many players and assistant coaches as reported by the Kansas City Star in October 2008.
