I know its womens basketball, but Pat Summitt has been an icon in the sport for years. She has won 1,098 games and 8 NCAA Titles. She recently developed the early stages of Alzheimer’s and has decided that she can't coach anymore. Its a sad day for womens college basketball, The University of Tennessee, and the thousands of young students and student/atheletes that she has mentored thoughout the years. She has decided to step down effective immediately and Holly Warlick will take over.

Re: Pat Summit Steps Down
Wow, I was really pulling for her to continue coaching, but I understand.
I ****ing hate Alzheimer's Disease; it's the most God awful disease on the planet. It is my hope in my lifetime that we find a cure, and at least for now find a way to stop it in its tracks.Rangers - Cowboys - Aggies - Stars - Mavericks

Re: Pat Summit Steps Down
Five years ago while on vacation in Clarksville, TN, I was blessed with an opportunity to watch her coach. My brother, my Dad, my nephews and I went to watch an AAU tournament and to our surprise, she was coaching one of the teams. The team she had wasn't all that good, but I saw with my own eyes why she's a legend. The game of basketball is losing one of the all-time greats.Comment
