Patrick Joseph Skerry (born January 21, 1970) is the head coach of the Towson University Tigers men's basketball team.
A year later he took his first head coaching job at Curry College at the age of 26.
In 1998, Skerry jumped to Northeastern University as an assistant coach for two seasons, before moving on to William & Mary (2000–03), College of Charleston (2003–05), University of Rhode Island (2005–08), Providence College (2008–10), and Pittsburgh (2010–11) before accepting the head coaching job at Towson, replacing Pat Kennedy.
