Good Night Pat Summit...ALWAYS A WINNER TO ME

Patricia Sue Summitt ( June 14, 1952 – June 28, 2016)^[1] was an American college basketball head coach and the winningest coach, male or female, in NCAA basketball history.^[2] She served as the head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team from 1974 to 2012, winning eight NCAA championships (an NCAA women's record when she retired), and surpassed only by the 10 titles won by UCLA coach John Wooden and the 11 titles won by UConn coach Geno Auriemma. She was the first NCAA coach, and one of four college coaches overall, to achieve at least 1,000 wins (she achieved 1,098). ^[3]
Summitt also won an Olympic Gold Medal as head coach of the 1984 U.S. women's basketball team, and was named the Naismith Basketball Coach of the Century in April 2000. In 2009, the Sporting News placed her at number 11 on its list of the 50 Greatest Coaches of All Time in all sports; she was the only woman on the list. In 38 years as a coach, she never had a losing season. In 2012, Pat Summitt was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. She received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2012 ESPY Awards.

What you can't find on Wikipedia...is the fact she always represented all the qualities I was taught to display and admire in basket ball.

Always shine...WIN OR LOOSE
There are NO MORAL VICTORIES
You Can Always Play Harder and Respect The Players That Make YOU!
She has been missed by me since she stopped coaching....Good Night Coach!

My prayers are with The Summit Family and all my Lady Vol Fans.
