Pat took over men's team practice. PRICELESS!!!!

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/06/the-time-pat-summitt-got-furious-and-took-over-a-tennessee-mens-practice



Courtney Banghart's experience with Pat. This is pretty good too!

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/06/princeton-coach-tells-heartwarming-story-about-the-time-she-first-met-pat-summitt



Geno told a good one today on ESPN about a time that he was an assistant at UVA. He thought that the refs were all for TN. At halftime, Debbie Ryan headed to the locker room and Geno went after the refs (where was CD?). Pat headed toward the refs too apparently thinking that UVA had been getting all of the calls. Geno got there first and yelled, and yelled and then got teched.

He turned to Pat and asked what she had to say about the officiating. She said "nothing" and turned and went to the locker room. TN starts the second half with free throws and Geno had to explain to Debbie why.

Death can sometimes be very cruel. While it's always hard, this seems to be a cruel and devastating way to go.

I've been really struggling with this the past few days, much more than I thought I would. Women's basketball is a special bond that we all share and one that people don't often understand.

She certainly lived a life, blazed a trail that nobody else could have and left an impact that is an important one. Pat, thank you and may you rest in peace.

To those that knew her, loved her and were touched by her in some way, you're one of the lucky ones.

A very sad day!

Here is a quick video of Patt's last game at Stanford. She received a standing ovation from the Cardinal crowd. The entire Stanford football team was in attendance, including Andrew Luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX0_3tEG_lE&feature=youtu.be

Which 10 Lady Vols had the best careers under Pat Summitt?

Quote:
1. Chamique Holdsclaw, 1995-99

Summitt knew right away that the kid from Queens, New York, would be one of the most gifted players in college history. And it didn't take long for Holdsclaw, a 6-foot-2 forward, to establish herself as a go-to superstar. Midway through her freshman year, 1995-96, Holdsclaw came over to the Tennessee bench during a stoppage in play, lightly tugged on Summitt's jacket and said, "Coach, get me the ball!"

Holdsclaw led the Lady Vols to NCAA titles in 1996, '97 and '98. A rare bad shooting game against a Duke defense geared toward stopping her kept Holdsclaw from advancing to the Final Four her senior year. But she finished her Tennessee career as the program's all-time leading scorer (3,025) and rebounder (1,295) and was the No. 1 pick in the 1999 WNBA draft. She played 11 seasons in the league, averaging 16.9 points and 7.6 rebounds.

Holdsclaw also has become an advocate for mental health, openly addressing her lifelong battle with depression.

2. Candace Parker, 2004-08

She was a different kind of player, one that had rarely been seen before in the women's game: the big woman with legitimate guard skills. At 6-4, Parker could rip down a rebound, dribble coast-to-coast and finish at the rim or dish it off to an open teammate. She could dunk, and did so at Tennessee.

A knee injury sidelined her in what would have been her freshman season, 2004-05. In 2006, she and the Lady Vols lost in the Elite Eight to North Carolina. Then in 2007 and '08, Parker was the key figure in delivering Summitt's last two national championships and was the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player both years.

Parker then opted to turn professional with Summitt's blessing. Despite playing just three seasons, Parker is Tennessee's career leader in blocked shots (275), is third in scoring (2,137) and is sixth in rebounding (972).

Parker was the WNBA's No. 1 draft pick in 2008. A two-time Olympic gold medalist and a two-time WNBA MVP, she's in her ninth season with the Los Angeles Sparks.

3. Bridgette Gordon, 1985-89

A native Floridian, Gordon was a 6-foot forward who punished defenses. She is the program's second-leading scorer (2,462) and is ninth in rebounding (915). Gordon played on Tennessee's first two championship teams, in 1987 and '89.

In the latter, she had one of the great performances in the history of the NCAA final, with 27 points and 11 rebounds against Auburn. She was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player that year. Tennessee went 115-21 during Gordon's career and advanced to the Final Four all four of her seasons.

Gordon won gold in the 1988 Olympics. With the WNBA still eight years in the future when she graduated from Tennessee, Gordon spent most of her professional career as an all-star in Italy. She played two seasons near the end of her career in the WNBA. Gordon is now an assistant to another former Lady Vol, Jody Adams, at Wichita State.

Stunned when I saw this on the news this morning. Deepest sympathies for the many feeling a sense of loss. One of the greatest women of our lifetimes.

What a GREAT article. I think my favorite part may be this:

Quote:
Summitt was empowering women to be themselves, educating women to follow their dreams, and inspiring women to outstretch their society-restricted reach. She was sports at its best. She didn’t just win games, she advanced humanity.

Talked to my daughter in Tennessee today. She lives just outside of Knoxville and said that yesterday was mostly cloudy and just sort of muted all day, but there was an absolutely glorious brilliant orange sunset that everyone talked about as a "sign"....like a final farewell.

You Can’t Honor Pat Summitt If You Don’t Respect Women’s Sports

http://thinkprogress.org/sports/2016/06/29/3794217/pat-summitt-respect-womens-sports/

Quote:
Forty-eight hours maybe, perhaps a week, where it just wasn't going to be cool to slam female athletes and women's sports out of respect for Pat Summitt. Then we're going to go right back to it being very easy to be as disrespectful as you want to be.

Sadly, most of the comments after that piece bashed its author, CPS, women's basketball, women's sports, or just women.

In all the stories I've read about Pat the one thing that struck me the most was how she made everyone feel important. Never met a stranger.

Pat Summitt’s last great gift was sharing her fight with Alzheimer’s

Quote:
This was where Pat got her shirt-off-her-back generosity, which was really her main quality, far more pronounced than her ambition or fierceness. She’d do anything, for anybody. Pull over to help someone change a tire, not embarrassed to dirty her farm-girl hands with a wrench. Demand that the aging security guard at her condo in Florida come over after her shift for a cold beer, and then listen with unfeigned interest to her life story. As Pat’s great friend Ange Kelly, the soccer coach at Texas, said: “How many times was I taught by osmosis, just walking down a hall with her, ‘This is how you treat a stranger.’”

‘The game is never over’: A letter from Pat Summitt to a young basketball player

Winning is fun . . . Sure.

But winning is not the point.

Wanting to win is the point.

Not giving up is the point.

Never letting up is the point.

Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.

The game is never over. No matter what the scoreboard reads, or what the referee says, it doesn’t end when you come off the court.

The secret of the game is in doing your best. To persist and endure, “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

I just learned that Maria Cornelius has a book coming out about CPS called "The Final Season."

https://smile.amazon.com/Final-Season-Perseverance-Pat-Summitt/dp/1621902722/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1468892472&sr=1-1&keywords=the+final+season

And a really good article by Jody Conradt about CPS.
