and the American people. Coming to you from the city where the West begins. Fort Worth, Texas. Pat Summit was a legendary women's basketball coach at the University of Tennessee. and the winningest coach in NCA history.
known for her unparalleled success, fierce dedication to her players. eight national championships. and for revolutionizing women's sports. Here to tell the story is Greg Hengler. Let's take a listen.
You deserve it.
So go get it. That's what you gotta think. You gotta go get it. You gotta earn it. They don't respect you.
They don't think you're not. You can play out there. You gotta show some fire and see. I don't have a job, but I want to What an ass. Tennessee has gone for the national championship.
The title goes to Knoxville again. That's it. Tennessee has won the national championship. Yeah. And they've done it.
Back-to-back championship. The first team ever to go 30. Nine. And on. Can you say back to back?
The Lady Valles have won championship number eight. And 08. Pat took the game. to the highest level that it's ever been. And you know what?
At the end, They're gonna forget the wins, they're gonna forget the losses, they're gonna forget how many championships you won. They're not gonna remember conference titles. None of that's gonna stick. What's going to stick is when they say women's basketball, Pat Summit, those two things will never be separated. That was Gino Oriyama.
Coach of the University of Connecticut Huskies. They had one of the most competitive relationships in women's college basketball. Here's Mike Shuszzewski, the head coach of Duke, talking about Coach Pat. One of the great coaches of any sport. Yeah, well, w basketball.
It was Pat Summit. I can remember. Uh early in my career, CM Newton uh one of the great guys in in men's college basketball. wanted to hire her. To be a men's coach and said, Look, you should go to one of her practices.
She knows how to coach and sheep. She really put women's basketball out there. In other words, uh what she did with recruiting, accomplishment, championships. It started from there. And obviously, today, Geno's done an unbelievable job at Connecticut, but.
That would not have been without Pat. Pat Summit worked as a grad assistant for the UT Lady Voles. But the head coach unexpectedly stepped down and Pat became the head coach from nineteen seventy four to twenty twelve. Here's Marsha Sharp, former head coach of the University of Texas Tech. I don't suppose that there's really The right words to talk about her legacy or what she meant to women's basketball.
When you get a job when you're a grad assistant and turn it into something like she did, it's the most remarkable story in sports in so many ways. Particularly for Women in sports at that time. Title IX had just become law, and it was kind of a perfect storm when she came along and started that program. Pat Summit was born on June 14, 1952 in Clarksville, Tennessee. We had a dairy farm.
I just remember milking cows 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. I don't think my grandfather knew what to do with my mom. He just assumed, hey, I can just treat her like the boys. We were strict on him, of course he was more stricter than I was.
You know, it generally goes that way. My father, he was the one that probably inspired me the most. He challenged me and said, I don't know if you'll ever be able to do this. And of course, that's all I needed to hear. I don't think that she planned to be a pioneer, but I think that she was comfortable being the pioneer.
Coach Summit began her coaching career before women's basketball was an NCAA-sanctioned sport. And just two years after Title IX came into play, the legislation that created more athletic opportunities for women. Her personal basketball career was played from 1970 to 1974. at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Pat Summit then played in the Olympic Games in 1976, co captaining the United States women's national basketball team as a player in the inaugural women's tournament, winning the silver medal.
She then returned to the Olympics in 1984 as a head coach and led the U.S. women's team to the gold medal. She was the first in U.S. Olympic basketball history to play on and coach medal winning teams. I remember the first loss probably more than the first win.
And we played uh Mercer University. They were good. And I knew after the game that I had um Yeah, just didn't do a good job. You know, and I I was young and I I just wasn't experienced enough. Uh They were confident enough, probably.
Um Yeah, I remember calling home. And my mother answered the phone and we were chit-chatting and she goes, Trish, how you doing? I go, doing great, mom. Never even asked me about the game. Probably didn't even know we were playing.
Or if she did, she probably just forgot about it because she never was into sports. And I said, Is dad there? And she said, Yes. And I said, Yeah. I talked to him, because he didn't like talk on the phone much.
And she said yes.
So she handed him the phone, and I've never heard him say hello. He said, all right.
Well, I was so nervous because I knew You know, he knows how competitive we all are and he's competitive and And I said, hey Dad, and he goes, Did you win? And I said no, sir. We lost. Long pause, and I didn't know what he was going to say, other than you need to get out of coaching, but he said, um.
So you lost. I said, yes, sir. He said, let me tell you one thing. You don't take donkeys to the Kentucky Derby. You better get you some rice horses.
And he hung up. But I knew what he was saying to me. And it really shaped me in terms of my philosophy to understand that. You win in life with people. You know, it's not about me.
I've never scored a basket. for the University of Tennessee. You know, and I'm starting my 36th year. It's all about the people you surround yourself with and what they bring. To the court, to the game, and to understanding that it is a team concept and they have to do it together.

I pulled up real quick. He was about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus, and we had like three hours. played the record for him, we kinda like got a scratch and then he handled it on his own on the road. Yeah.

Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. and BC News. Reporting for America. And we continue with our American stories.
And what a story we've been listening to. Pat Summit we learned in the last segment. was the first person in women's sports to both coach and play on. medal-winning teams. Let's pick up now.
Where we last left off here again is Greg Hengel. Before Coach Summit had her son Tyler in 1990, She endured six miscarriages. I think the one achievement in my life that means the most to me is the birth of my son, Tyler. He's just a gift from God, and he's just been so special in so many ways. because as much as I've taught him, I think he's probably taught me even more.
all the things I hear about my mom, you know, all the the championships, the wins, you know. all the Olympic players, you know, all the players who Played for her and are now coaches, you know, things like that, everything she's done, and then for her to say, that you know that about me it's just it makes me feel So special. People have heard the story when I got cut. you know, my sixth grade year and You know, it was I was heartbroken, and you know, I think maybe. Part of me thought that because I was her son, I might make it, you know, just solely on that.
And I didn't work as hard as I could have. I walk in the room and I said, Tyler, what's wrong with you? And he goes, I got cut.
Well, my first thought is what coach in East Tennessee would cut my son. I mean, think about it. You know, put him at the end of the bench, but give him a uniform. And then I guess the The coach came out in me, and I looked at Tyler and I said. He had a basketball under each arm.
He was crying so hard. And she goes, Well, do you think you worked hard enough? And I knew I didn't, and I said, No. And she said, Well, now you know what you gotta do. And I was like, you know, I wanted her because I knew she knew everything about basketball.
And he goes, Mom, will you help me? I said, son, I will help you, but I will not start your engine. You must start your engine every day. Do you understand that? And he goes, Yes, ma'am.
So every day, You know, that I wanted her to help me. I would have to go to her. It wouldn't be her pushing me. You gotta be self-motivated, and that's another thing she taught me that's really important. During her time as coach, she racked up 1,098 career wins, the most in women's college basketball history upon her retirement.
and she won eight NCAA championships. In the year 2000 she was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Then in August 2011, Pat Summit announced that she had been diagnosed with early onset dementia. Alzheimer's type. Here she is talking about it.
with her son. You know, I just felt something was different. And uh You know, at the time I didn't know what I was dealing with. And And Until I went to the Mayo clinic. I couldn't be for sure, but I can remember.
you know, being trying to to coach and and trying to Figure out schemes and whatever, and I just, it just wasn't coming to me like. I typically would say, oh, we're going to do this, gonna run that. I think it probably. caused me to you know second guess And I know And when I was talking with Mickey, You know, and and I just she said, y you know, What's going on with you? And I said, I don't know.
You know, I I don't know. And so You know, I was glad that we went to the Mayo clinic because at least I knew then You know what I was dealing with. You know, it's hard to fight an invisible opponent. And I think that now we know what we're up against. Um and we're ready we're ready to take the next chapter in our lives.
Coach Summit finished out the 2011-2012 season. But with her assistant coach Harley Warlick, who had who had been with her since 1985 doing most of the coaching. Here, Coach Warlick shares one of her favorite stories about Coach Summit. You know, y'all know how Hence pad is. I mean, just off the chain.
And we we sent our kids off to a For the summer, and we wanted on their own, they had to go work out, and we made sure they had to get in shape. You have to come back in shape. And some of the kids meant to lose. Back when you could talk about weight, some of them you had to lose 10 pounds, 15 pounds. We can't tell them to lose pounds.
We just got to tell them to get in shape now. But Pat told this young lady, you know, you got to come, you got to lose 15 pounds. It's the bottom line.
So um we all at the beginning of um of the year we have we we meet as a staff and a team and We come in and right when they go back to school, well this young lady came in and Pat was like, are you kidding me? She goes, get back to my office right now.
So the little girl went back and got in the office, and she sat down and she goes, What have you been doing? She goes, well, I've been No, you've been doing nothing. You have been doing nothing. She goes, What did I tell you before you left? Uh sh I told you to lose 15 pounds.
You're not getting back on the court till you lose 15 pounds. The girl's like about to bust out crying. She goes, she goes, just leave, just leave. The kid gets up and leaves and she's like... Goes and gets him Team meeting, and Pat calls me in there and goes, I just chewed so-and-so out.
And I said, Really?
Okay, so we went back into the meeting.
Alright, and so we get in the meeting and we go around and tell each other what the names are and what class you are. I'm Abby Conklin. I'm a senior and I you know, and I'm I'm and I come up and this young lady goes and Okay. She says uh Hi, I'm Beth Bartell, and I'm a manager, I think. And so here's the great part too.
As we're going around, Pat all of a sudden got red and just started looking at me and goes. Oh my god, I just talked to her and she's a manager. And I went, what? And so she says, don't tell anybody.
So I went, I want, Nikki, do you know what Pat did? You know what bad dude?
So, yeah.
So if you're going to be a manager, you better get under the weight requirements. Just five years after her diagnosis. Pat Summit passed away. Her memorial was held on July 16, two Mm-hmm. at the Thompson Bowling Arena located on the University of Tennessee campus.
The basketball court was renamed The summit. Her son Tyler spoke first. In front of him. was the stool that she would sit on every game. This stool it's it's here for a reason.
As many of you fans know, and of course the players, this was her outward platform. where she would sit and her Lady Vol family would would gather around her. for words of encouragement. words of wisdom, but usually a lot of harsh criticism. But something that I also want to celebrate tonight.
It's my mom's heart. Her enormous heart. And I'm here to tell you that. Inwardly. behind the scenes.
She had three hearts, the heart of a mother. A heart. for others. And a hard For Jesus Christ. And so let's start.
With the heart of a mother. I heard three words every single day of my life. I love you. Every day. Didn't matter how busy she was, what she had to do, she took the time to stop.
And tell me that. And not only did she say it, but she showed it. She walked the talk. You might think that the famous Coach Pat Summit might not have time for the normal parental duties, like, let's say, cooking dinner. But I'm here to tell you the majority of my life.
I'm talking six or seven nights a week. My mama's home. Cooking dinner. For those of us that know her best, it wasn't carry-out, it wasn't microwave meals. We're talking the stove, the grill, and two ovens going at the same time.
I mean, Pat Summit felt lazy if she only had one oven going at the same time.
So. She she had the heart of a mother. And you've been listening to one heck of a story about one heck of a coach and so much more than just a coach. By the way, the number of human beings whose lives were transformed having encountered Pat Summit, Just as happens in the With Coach Shuszewski, Coach Wooden, and so many of the other coaches we've celebrated here on this show. And of course Coach Bear Bryant.
and her greatest assignment she called her son Tyler. Six miscarriages she went through. Talk about persistence. And my goodness, what a career. 1900 plus career wins, eight national championships.
in the Basketball Hall of Fame in the year 2000. But then comes tragedy, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, and not long after, five years after the diagnosis, she passes. And we just heard the eulogy. Of her son, and my goodness, it was spectacular when we come back. We're about to hear more of it here on Our American Stories.
Hey, it's Bobby from the Bobby Bone Show. I had an incredible time at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival and even got the chance to hang out with Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman while I was there. Check this out.

NBC News. Reporting for America. And we continue with our American stories. and the story of Pat Summit. Let's pick up where we last left off in the middle of time Tyler Summit's eulogy for his mom.
One time when I was playing soccer First, let's step back and realize As she's winning those back-to-back-to-back national championships in the 90s. She still took the time to come and watch her six-year-old play soccer. At halftime, I ran over to her imaginary stool on the sideline, and I look up and I say, Hey, Mom, you know, how am I doing?
Well, she looked down and she said, Oh, you're doing all right. That's not Pat Summit.
So I said, no, come on, Mom. How am I doing? And she first took her sunglasses off and got eye level with me. That's when I knew I was in for it. She said, son.
You're not being aggressive. Get after the ball, run after it. Don't be scared to get physical out there. Yes, ma'am.
So I run back out there with those six-year-olds and folks. I was everywhere. I was all over the field, I was knocking people down.
So I run back over to my coach after the game, and I get some harsh criticism from him as well. I walk back to mom, I said, Mom, I'm confused. You know, You tell me to be more aggressive, but my coach tells me I'm playing out of my position. She hadn't realized I was the goalie. That was the last time Pat Summit ever tried to coach soccer.
But it shows her heart. She wanted to help any and everybody. no matter if she knew the rules or not. And that that brings me to her second heart. A heart for others.
And she had it. I guarantee you, there are so many people. In this building, so many people watching right now that have stories. of Pat Summit walking 100 miles an hour. And then stopping on a dime.
to sign an autograph for a little girl. to say thank you to the janitor. or the cafeteria worker. That was her heart for others. She would sacrifice no matter where she was, where her stool was at the time, whether it was.
Her office, her office chair, an airplane seat. It didn't matter where she was. She would sacrifice for others. She was the strongest person. I have ever known.
or that I ever will know. Mm-hmm. but a lot of people don't know. Where that strength came from. Her favorite Bible verse.
Was Philippians 4:13? I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. She had a heart for Jesus. One of my favorite Memories was back in 2012 when we were baptized together again in front of friends and family. Another example of her faith.
Uh was in the last few days of her life. when I'm sitting there by her side and For a son to hear some come up to her and say, Pat, I love you. Thank you. You brought me closer to God. It's the most incredible feeling a son.
can ever have for his mother a child can ever have for a parent. And it just showed that. She walked the talk. She showed her faith through her actions. And I know in that way, but in so many others.
I am still learning so much from my mom. I still have so much. to learn from her. During Peyton Manning's years at the University of Tennessee as their legendary quarterback, He went to a lot of Lady Vall basketball games. It was here where he developed a respect for Coach Summit.
Nineteen years ago, I came to see Pat Summit deciding whether I should stay. for my junior or senior year. And I sat in their office for two hours. She gave me great advice. on what she thought I should do.
As a coach and as a person, Pat did more than outthink uncertainty and stare down competitors. She stared down doubts. If you were recruited by Pat and her staff, it was like a casting call for greatness. She epitomized the Lady Valls. More than that, and because of her actions, she gave new depth and dimension to the word lady.
Her memory Her memory should be like the perfect game plan that drives every one of us to fiercely go after our dreams, no matter what opposition. gets in our way. and to do it with as much grace as ferocity. And in the end, to generate respect for the way we went after it with abandon. If you ask me, Patch True Gate Greatness.
was in her actions. The way she walked onto that court. And commanded the sidelines, the way her presence electrified and her stare. quieted a room. It was the substance of her life, her example.
that will resonate most. Pat Summon epitomized courage. All she needed to hear was there was a challenge ahead. For her to defy expectations, she was a teacher. on and off the court.
Last summer, I was in Knoxville. And I knew that Pat wasn't doing so well. Coach Fulmer and I decided to drive over to visit our old friend. We knew she probably wouldn't know our names. And she did it.
But that wasn't the point. Pat smiled a lot. As we sat and spent time with her, and she seemed to just enjoy having our company. We didn't know if it even mattered that we were there, but deep inside, We both hoped it would. Two weeks ago at Pat's funeral, Shamiqua Holzclaw and I caught up with each other again.
She, like so many of Pat's former players, stayed in close contact with her. Shamikwa told me that even as Pat's memory Continue to fade. If Pat saw one of my games or commercials on TV, She pointed at the screen and said, That's my friend. He comes to visit me. There goes my friend.
Two weeks ago at her grave site. Two weeks ago at her grave site, the tears rolled down my cheeks. After I left, I got a text. From Sally Jenkins, that reminded me of Pat's words to anyone in enough agony to come crying to her. With a nudge full of kindness and a move-on mentality, she told them.
Toughen up, buttercup.
So, in the spirit of Pat, I'll echo her own words. Toughen up, buttercup.
And in saying goodbye for the last time, we can all say There goes our friend. We're going to end this story with Coach Pat Summit. sharing her best peace. of Life Advice. To look in the mirror.
And see yourself. and challenge yourself. to be the very best. And to always do the right thing. And again, never compromise your principles, never lower your standards.
Whatever it is that you desire to do in life, Have the courage. and the commitment. to do it. and to do it to your absolute best. And I Always, always no.
It you have to believe it. to do it. And a terrific job on the production, editing, and storytelling by our own Greg Hengler. And I have a story of my own. Um I would travel around the Southeast Conference during my years in law school.
We would work our way into gyms. and play hoops. I was at the University of Virginia. And Pat Summit was at Tennessee, one was SEC, one was ACC, but we would go to a lot of both conference-away games. We loved it, my friends and I.
