In my work I had many meals with Pat; only two were alone with her. She was passionate about developing a player - her focus was intense, as all olympians.
I loved seeing her win the Olympics in ‘84. The team knew her importance.
I first heard of her when the Lady Vols went up against the Lady Huskies mid-January of 1995. She put women’s college b-ball not only on the map, but in a part of the country which is much more famous for the fall sport, college football,the south.
