"Pat Summitt was one of the best coaches ever and one of the most enduring.... She helped lift her sport out of an era in which high school girls didn't even play on a full court, saw the number of female college athletes rise from 16,000 from almost 20,000, won eight national titles and graduated 100 percent of the players who completes their eligibility. She did this trough force of personality and, in her own telling, with a mix of love, fury and manipulation..... As scandals and players lawsuits make college sports seem increasingly ruthless and suspect, Summitt is often held up as rare example of dignity and class.
