Pat Summit and the Lady Volunteers won their 8th National Championship last night in Tampa against the Stanford Cardinal. I know the talent level and competitive landscape is different than mens basketball, but this is nonetheless one heck of an impressive feat. Summit now has 983 career wins and will without a doubt break the 1000 win mark next season. Congratulations to Pat Summit, Candace Parker and all the other Lady Volunteers on their 36-2 season and their National Championship!

Lady Vols coach Pat Summit just reached the top of her profession today. Ok, she already has, but now in even a bigger way! Pat Summit signed a six year extension with Tennessee to the tune of over $1 million a year. The final year of the escalated contract will reach $1.5 million. There is no doubt that since she is the winningest coach in COLLEGE BASKETBALL along with sheer dominance via some of the best women’s players to ever set foot on the court that Pat Summit deserves what she is getting. It is really nice to see a woman who has scratched and clawed her way to prominence to reap the benefits of her success.
