It hit him during high school that he wanted to become coach after noticing the differences in the coaching styles of his mom, Tennessee men's coach Bruce Pearl and his coaches at Webb School in Knoxville.
"I started realizing how much I knew about the game and things like that. It really hit me that I wanted to coach," he said.
The 5-foot-9 former point guard had the opportunity to play at Division III Centre College in Danville, Ky. He also considered attending Vanderbilt, where coach Melanie Balcomb invited him to be a male practice player for the Commodores. |

| The real question is will they get screwed out of the Tennessee job and a multi million dollar pay check when Tennessee hires him instead of them when Pat retires?

Cool. I know about Bobby and Pat Knight, and the Bowdens in football.
What other coaching families are there with more than one generation doing it?

Homer (Valpo) and Scott (?) (Baylor) Drew.
Steve Alford and his dad.
And I think that the pilot wanted to land in VA.

Doesn't Iowa State's Bill Fennelly have a son, Billy, that's coaching? Kentucky, maybe?

Billy is the director of basketball operations at Northwestern. He's also married to former Iowa State PG Lyndsey (Medders) Fennelly.
There's a good interview with the two of them about the interesting trials of having the coach's son date a star player here: http://ow.ly/17VWu

Yes, it's a pretty well-told story about how The Summitt would not allow her child to be born in that state. Here's Mechelle Voepel's recounting:
| Quote: |
The only other time Virginia beat Tennessee was March 24, 1990 -- when Pat Summitt's team was the defending NCAA titlist, as it is now. [Nov. 2008]
UVa had a wizard of a guard at that time, too, Dawn Staley. She was a sophomore who'd been crushed and extremely ticked off by her final game the season before, an 80-47 NCAA Sweet 16 loss to Tennessee.
Staley's chance at revenge came almost exactly a year to the day later, on Old Dominion's home court in Norfolk, Va. In the East Regional final, the second-seeded Cavaliers beat No. 1 seed Tennessee 79-75 in overtime. Summitt had to go home to Thompson-Boling and host the 1990 Final Four party in which her team wasn't participating.
Oh, did she stew.
Then there's the second stanza, the oft-told tale of the birth of Tyler Summitt later that year. Summitt was recruiting Michelle Marciniak in Pennsylvania, went into labor and then told the pilots to get her back to Knoxville. They had said they could make an emergency stop in, of all places, Virginia. But Summitt wasn't about to have her child born in that state -- especially not that year.

I really don't know why this story is on the front page of the women's bball section on yahoo when the NCAA tourney is about to begin and the WNIT is in progress.
Really who cares? Maybe I am the only one annoyed. It would be ok for a story in the off season when we are looking for something to talk about, just not now when the focus should be on all these teams and the young women on them. I'm sure there are plenty of feel-good stories there.

| Yeah, but none of those players is named Summitt. Therefore, those stories wouldn't generate as many hits or as much interest. Hence, we hear about Tyler.

Lou and Skip Holtz. BTW, back when I was at ND (when Holtz was coaching) his daughter was the QB for her dorm's interhall football team, and she made up a play for her squad. She told her dad about it, and he ended up using it in a game.
