Sports With Littlefield: Remembering Pat Summitt
ResumeLegendary basketball coach Pat Summitt died Tuesday. She was just 64 years old. In her 38 years as coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols, Summitt won eight national championships, 1,098 games — the most by any Division 1 basketball coach, men's or women's — and could even boast a 100 percent graduation rate for her athletes.
Summitt was diagnosed with early-onset dementia in 2011, and resigned as head coach at Tennessee the year after.
