WATERBURY — Tim Fitzpatrick, of Naugatuck, has been named head boys basketball coach at Chase Collegiate School.

Fitzpatrick, who graduated from Chase in 2003, played on the 2002 and 2003 New England Championship varsity basketball teams for the school. His younger brother, Kyle, who also played on the 2003 New England Championship team, will serve as assistant coach.

“We are very excited to have Tim and Kyle back so they can build upon their past successes,” said Director of Athletics Logan Condon in a press release.

“We can’t wait to get started,” Tim Fitzpatrick said in the release. “We want the kids to have fun, but we will work hard to get the winning results.”
