I wonder if those attending her memorial wear UT orange and forego traditional black. That would be pretty cool.
RIP

Full disclosure, I am a Vol fan, but never got into women's basketball. She practiced what she preached though, and I've never heard any former player had a bad thing to say.
Played golf with a guy last night who was a former college basketball player who worked her camp one year. He said there was a girl who was homesick and crying and he went up to Pat to ask what he needed to do. Summit walks in looks at the girl, picks up the phone and says, "Go ahead, call your parents and tell them to get you now because I don't want young ladies who quit being at our camp!"
He was floored, walked out and said, "Coach, are sure..."
Coach looked at him with a stare "I got this"
She walked back in and proceeded to tell the girl if she quits now, she will quit anything and everything that is tough.
Kid stayed and played college basketball at a small college
