Follow me and my links to the fantastic world of The Lady Vols. The pages were created for the love of The University of Tennessee. The Lady Vols came about in the formation of the Women's Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-1977 academic year prompted much discussion concerning the proper nickname for the distaff athletes. After long consideration and debate, it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as "Lady Volunteers," or simply the "Lady Vols."

Testimonials from coaches, athletes, celebrities on Pat Summitt

 The word bittersweet I am sure is across all of athletics because she transcends. She is not just women's basketball. She is an icon for any sport. I think celebrating the success she had is there. I called her yesterday and told her how happy I was that she was still with us and that she didn't step down completely. She is just an amazing person and her impact will last forever. Not just on the people that she coached but all the people in athletics as a whole." [ [Derek Dooley, Tennessee football coach]

Coach Summitt has been supportive of me from the time I was hired, and obviously that means a lot to have that support from one of the greatest coaches in any sport. The great thing is that she'll still be around. It's big for our recruits and the recruits' parents to have the opportunity to meet Coach Summitt on their visits — they all want to see her. I've always recognized Coach Summitt as a huge figure in Tennessee athletics, and as a representative of the state of Tennessee, for that matter. Not just because of what she's done on the court, but off the court as well. It's an honor to coach on a floor with her name on it." [Cuonzo Martin, Tennessee men's basketball coach]

For many, she's simply Pat

 When Pat Summitt became coach of the Tennessee women's basketball team in 1974, she decided that the players should refer to her simply as "Pat." "I didn't want them to be intimidated,'' she said. "I just thought that was the way to go." An interesting decision, considering Summitt's way wasn't paved by ease and comfort. She challenged her players, exhorted them and squeezed every bit of effort out of them and then some more. More than a few of them likely cursed her name along the way. In the process, those players collaborated on 1,098 victories, measured in 36 consecutive seasons of 20 or more and 20 seasons of 30-plus victories.

Twenty-two of the seasons reached a Final Four (4 AIAW, 18 NCAA) and eight ended in celebration with a national championship — starting in 1987 and stretching out over three decades to 2008. Twenty-one Lady Vols earned All-America honors. Multiple selections brought the final total to 36. They also had a hand in 32 SEC championships, split evenly between regular-season and tournament titles. When Summitt announced April 18 that she was stepping down after 38 seasons to become a head coach emeritus, Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said that he has surveyed Summitt's resume countless times and always come to the same conclusion.

Pat Summitt to write memoir

 As yet untitled, Tennessee Head Coach Emeritus Pat Summitt's book will be issued simultaneously in print and digital formats by Crown Archetype, an imprint of Random House, Inc.’s Crown Publishing Group. Renowned for her fierce competitiveness, steely-eyed resolve, and tireless devotion to her players, Summitt will chronicle in her book her full life journey, including her working childhood on a farm in Henrietta, Tennessee; her career as coach of a team that has won more games than any other, men's or women's, in history; her life as a devoted mother; and her determination to take on her toughest opponent yet—Alzheimer's disease.

Having just completed her thirty-eighth season as head coach, Summitt, 59, was diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, in May 2011. Summitt will write the book with Sally Jenkins, a Washington Post columnist, a four-time winner of the Associated Press Sports Columnist of the Year Award, a member of the National Sports Writers and Sportscasters Hall of Fame, and the author of 10 books.

Summitt made basketball matter at football-crazed Tennessee

 Pat Summitt walked into the expansive dining room of McAlister's Deli, an eatery on the main level of Thompson-Boling Arena on the southern tip of the University of Tennessee campus. A second-year journalism student at Tennessee, I glanced up from my lunch as the eyes of a dozen restaurant-goers locked onto the iconic women's basketball coach. Summitt strolled over to the table next to mine, pulled out a chair and climbed atop as a hush fell over her audience. "Hey y'all," she said. "I'm Pat Summitt." Onlookers laughed at Summitt's unnecessary introduction. "In case y'all didn't know," she continued, "our final SEC game of the regular season is tonight. We want to send this season out on a high note, but we need your support, so show up and be loud!"

I joined the patrons in applause as Summitt dismounted her stool and exited the cafe amid a few salutatory waves. Hours later, her Tennessee team did indeed overwhelm Vanderbilt in the 2008-09 regular-season finale in front of a rowdy but customary Lady Vols crowd. No need to check the night's attendance; the fans have been present in body and spirit for decades thanks to Summitt. Over her 38-year career, Tennessee's Hall of Fame coach accomplished the unthinkable: she made women's basketball matter on a football-crazed campus.

 DES MOINES, Iowa -- We don't know if we just saw the last game on the sidelines for Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt. We are unsure of how to write or talk about this -- it has been that way the past few months -- but now the 2011-12 Lady Vols have finished this season with their legendary mentor. This particular journey ended with a 77-58 loss to top-seeded Baylor on Monday in the NCAA tournament's Elite Eight in Iowa's capital city, a place that has had a girls' high school state basketball tournament that dates back all the way to 1925. And that somehow seems appropriate, as this felt like a historical game for many reasons.

Since Summitt made the announcement last August that she had been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, observers have kept an eye on her demeanor and speculated about the future. For the most part, Summitt has not spoken much to the media other than in gathering in Knoxville, Tenn., with local reporters about the topic of this year's team, not her health. Associate head coach Holly Warlick has handled news conferences, with assistants Mickie DeMoss and Dean Lockwood always available for insight as well.

Baylor ends Lady Vols' season, 77-58

 DES MOINES, Iowa - Tennessee couldn't make enough shots to muster its best shot Monday night. After a hot start, the Lady Vols' field goal shooting steadily plunged below 30 percent, dragging their best intentions with them to a 77-58 NCAA women's basketball tournament loss to Baylor before a crowd of 9,068 at Wells Fargo Arena. Led by Odyssey Sims' 27 points, top-seed Baylor (37-0) held off UT's second-half rallies in the final of the Des Moines Regional and advanced to the Final Four in Denver.

Shekinna Stricklen led No. 2 seed Tennessee (27-9) with 22 points. She needed 26 shots for her output, which reflected UT's chilly 30.3 accuracy (23 for 76). Fellow senior Glory Johnson, who missed four minutes in the first half with a hip injury after a hard fall, returned in the second half and finished with 19. No other Lady Vol had more than five points. The Lady Bears pulled most of their starters with 1:13 left. Sims stayed. She and Stricklen got tangled up in the foul lane thereafter and had to be separated, touching off a confrontation between players from both teams.

Elite Eight: Tennessee vs. Baylor Who needs a perfect game to advance to the Final Four? Kara Lawson weighs in and previews the Elite Eight matchup between Baylor and Tennessee.

 DES MOINES, Iowa -- Tennessee was down 14 points against 11th-seeded Kansas, an unheralded bunch that few though could test the mighty Lady Vols. Feisty sophomore Meighan Simmons gave Tennessee the boost it needed to survive and advance to yet another regional final. Simmons scored 16 of her 22 points off the bench in the second half and Tennessee rallied past the Jayhawks 84-73 Saturday and advanced to its second straight regional final and 25th in 31 years. Glory Johnson added 18 points for the second-seeded Lady Vols (27-8), who'll meet undefeated and top-seeded Baylor on Monday night for a spot in the Final Four.

It was the 1,098th win for Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, who announced in August she'd been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, and has yet to commit to coaching next season. "The first half we tend to get ourselves in a hole, but we fought back," said Tennessee associate coach Holly Warlick. "I thought our bench was outstanding." The Lady Vols trailed 26-12 in the first half, but cut the deficit to 35-30 by halftime. They took the lead for good with a 19-9 run to open the second half. Angel Goodrich had a game-high 23 points and Aishah Sutherland had 19 for Kansas (21-13), which fell to 0-3 in regional semifinals. Simmons helped pick up the sluggish Lady Vols. "She has a scoring mentality. We've said she's never seen a shot she didn't like.

 1. Get it in gear, pronto: In the second round, Tennessee had a harder time putting away No. 7 seed DePaul than you might have expected. The biggest reason, other than the Blue Demons' pure scrappiness, was the Lady Vols' hit-and-miss offense. Tennessee has had trouble being a strong first-half team, but has made up for that in the second half most of the time. However, against DePaul, the smaller Blue Demons were able to hang on until late in the game because Tennessee never went on a run to put the game away.

Yes, Tennessee did finally get breathing room and won by 15, but the Lady Vols will feel a lot better if they are more in control throughout this game. Or at least throughout most of the second half. 2. Three in a row? As for Kansas, this is a surprise Sweet 16 team that has put together two really strong performances back-to-back, which has been a rarity for the Jayhawks. The overall matchups against Nebraska and Delaware were favorable to KU, though, while this one against Tennessee won't be. The Lady Vols' senior trio of Glory Johnson, Shekinna Stricklen and Vicki Baugh would be hard for KU to handle even if the Jayhawks had injured post player Carolyn Davis. Since they don't, more weight is on senior Aisha Sutherland and freshman Chelsea Gardner inside.

 MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn. -- There's an old saying about how tiring it is to work the land: On a farm, most things are either hungry or heavy. Or both. Here in north-central Tennessee, Pat Summitt grew up in a family of five children who worked extremely hard and played occasionally. But they also did that extremely hard. "That barn over there was the corncrib, and we'd have corncob fights sometimes," said Kenneth Head, one of Summitt's three older brothers. "You think that don't hurt? Wet corncobs hurt!

"We used to play baseball in there and in the house, with a little paddle and a pingpong ball. Pat also played tackle football with us; we didn't play touch. That's why she was tough -- she'd hit you, so you better hit her back." Kenneth Head and his brothers, Tommy and Charles, plus the youngest of the family, sister Linda, all have stayed here in Montgomery and neighboring Cheatham counties. Family patriarch Richard Head died in 2005, but their 86-year-old mother, Hazel, still lives here as well, in the tiny town of Henrietta, much of which was built by the Heads. So strong a personality was Richard that in many ways it doesn't seem he's really gone. It's as if all his children -- although they now are parents and grandparents themselves -- still hear his voice if they ever pause for very long in their day's chores: "What are you doing? Get back to work."
