I read about her illness in the WSJ yesterday: complications of early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease. May she rest in peace, and my sympathies to her family and friends.

Legend is right, it was always a pleasure to watch this great LADY coach and instill good values in her teams.

GO LADY VOLS!

at 80, my mother in law became a Lady Vols fan....... big time.

eventually she moved into assisted living and covered the walls of her apartment with lady vols stuff. on game day she dressed from head to toe in orange and white. If the evening meal drug on she would get fidgety because she wanted to have all her stuff in place well before the game began. She knew all of the “girls” by name.

Pat Summit came to town and my wife arranged for mom to wrangle an invitation to meet coach summit. to the surprise of both, they had on nearly identical lime green suits. it was a fantastic day

Alas, they both are now gone

I will miss Pat Summitt.
College basketball will miss Pat Summitt. American Sports will miss Pat Summitt.

Always thought her to be a born-again Christian, the way she carried herself, her speech patterns.
I believe she is at home with the Lord. Maybe talking basketball with John Wooden, even.

Good for Pat Summitt, condolences to her friends and family.

There will never be anyone like Tennessee legend Pat Summitt

Long read but worth it, IMO.
