    Such a sad situation seeing Coach Summit going out this way. She's done so much for UT, Women's NCAA basketball and women's basketball period it's a shame to see her career derailed with such a scary disease.

    Much respect for the NCAA's all-time winningest coach.

    I think most Vol fans expected it this offseason. It certainly doesn't take the sting or sadness out of it though. I'm glad to see that the university is going to let her stay involved by naming her Head Coach Emeritus. I feel bad for Holly Warlick too, having to come in and replace a legend is tough.

    One of the greatest coaches of all time. Its going to be extremely tough to replace her. One of the only reasons I watched women's basketball to see what tennessee looks like every year.
