The Tennessee Lady Vols head basketball coach, Pat Summitt, retired this week. She holds the title of all-time winningest NCAA basketball coach (men or women). During her tenure, the Lady Vols:
- won eight NCAA titles
- won 32 Southeastern Conference tournaments and regular season championships
- Made an unprecedented 31 consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament
- Produced 12 Olympians and 77 All-SEC performers
Here's the most impressive statistic:
Along with the success on the court, Summitt's student-athletes have tremendous productivity in the classroom. Coach Summitt has a 100 percent graduation rate for all Lady Vols who have completed their eligibility at Tennessee.(Read the entire bio here.)
The President of the United States is presenting her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and recognizing her work through the Pat Summitt Foundation.
Watch this video and you'll see how inspirational, full of integrity, brave and kind she is. I'll think you'll agree ---
We Back Pat.
