David Christopher Padgett (born February 13, 1985) is a former American basketball player and current coach. He played for the Kansas Jayhawks and the Louisville Cardinals.
Born in Reno, Nevada, Padgett attended Reno High School, where he averaged 27 points and 14 rebounds per game his senior year. He was a McDonald's High School and a first-team Parade All-American. He also was a member of the 2004 USA Basketball Junior World Championship Qualifying Team, earning a gold medal at the event.
As a high school senior, he was the top-rated center and considered the fourth-rated prospect overall by Inside Hoops, the seventh overall by Rivals Hoops, and fifteenth overall by ESPN.com. In 2003, he was the Nevada player of the year.
Padgett committed to the University of Kansas in 2003 in Roy Williams last season as the head coach. He decided to remain at Kansas after Williams left for the University of North Carolina and Bill Self became the head coach. His most memorable moment at Kansas came when he made the game winning shot in an 84-82 victory against Missouri in what turned out to be the last basketball game at the Hearnes Center.
After his freshman year, Padgett decided to transfer to the University of Louisville. NCAA rules dictated that he redshirt, and sit out for the 2004-2005 season, during which the Cardinals made it to the Final Four.
Padgett served as team captain with Taquan Dean. His team debut against Prairie View A&M was the third-highest scoring debut of any Cardinal at 17 points. He scored a career-high 27 points and eight rebounds against UConn.
