Coaching is more than wins and losses. She was an all time great coach.

Your effing high. 8 titles and a winning percentage of .840 put her in the conversation against any coach in any sport.
Couldn't coach in the NBA and win? Bullshit.

Did she ever teach one of her players to dunk?

We'll never know if she would've hacked it in the NBA, but I think if anyone could have done it, it's her. She commanded respect from just about everyone.
I don't really watch women's CBB, but she has to be on the Mt. Rushmore of NCAA coaches. You can't say she took advantage of the system, she created the system. If you get a chance go read what that program was like when she took over. There wasn't even an NCAA tourney yet, she made $250 a month and washed the team uniforms herself. Now it's a multi-million dollar sport. Plus she graduated 100% of her players. Pretty amazing. |

I think this is true... but she created that program. It isn't like she walked into a place with a ton of resources. It ended up that way because of her. I'm not sure what else you could compare it to.

Former Tennessee men’s basketball player Brian Williams, who played for former coach Bruce Pearl from 2007-11, went on Facebook to share one of his favorite memories of Summitt, who died early Tuesday morning.
It was the time she took over a men’s practice. “We was goofing around at Pat was watching,” Williams wrote via 247Sports. “She got fed up and threw the ball and everyone stopped. She said, ‘Run sprints, and run them fast.'” The players looked at Pearl, hoping he’d step in. But he didn’t. “He looked back at us and walked away and sat down, and Pat ran the rest of practice,” Williams wrote. “I remember I threw up twice that day.” Williams added that he and the men’s team always respected Summitt — even before she made them run. “The amount of respect we had for her was unmatched, and the lives she created for thousands will never go unnoticed,” he wrote. “Thanks for everything, Pat.” https://www.google.com/amp/ftw.usato...client=safari# |

If it's not too macabre, anyone know what lead from early onset Alzheimer's to death in such a short period?

Yeah, when I was reading about her women's college b-ball coach son knocking up one of his players, it was then I read she was in pretty bad shape & thought I had read she was just diagnosed? That disease usually sticks around long enough to ruin more than a few people's lives.

she would have had a chance if she was about 10 years younger.. would have loved to see her sit on Pop's assistant bench for a couple years.
