Her son was a college women's basketball coach, married. Who had numerous affairs with players and got one pregnant. You don't think something like that pained Pat? She was a great woman, to see her son do something like that to ruin his career, his marriage and his reputation.

My mom had Lady Vols season tickets for a few years when I was a kid so I grew up admiring Pat and her girls. So naturally I was interested to see how Tyler would do. I even kept tabs on Tyler when he played for the Tennessee men's team. He got the La Tech job and I read several articles about his work ethic and coaching philosophy and what it was like growing up with Pat Summitt as a mother and those got me even more interested in following his career. Then he messed it all up.

Her son definitely didn't help her situation but if the rumors of her dementia are true, she was probably unaware of it all and in all honesty, thank god.

She probably hardly knew him the past few months, I guarantee she had no idea about that. Even when she was coaching her last her she was losing it quick. She would get lost going home and people from the AD would have to come find her.

One of the top 5 coaches of all time in all of sports. The impact she had on women's basketball can be compared to the impact Vince Lombardi had on the NFL. Rest easy, Pat. Condolences to her friends and family.

Her impact on salaries for women's sports, for women's sports coaches being accepted, and their pay being so much better is imeasurable. She made 250.00 a month when she started, then became the first million dollar women's coach.

My greatest fear is dementia or Alzheimer's. The thought of slowly losing who I am, who I was, and the memories that brought my life meaning is beyond a nightmare. Prayers for the Summit family. Pat was one of a kind and made woman's basketball relevant. I would have loved to see her coach a men's team. She was so much more than just a women's Coach

Honestly I think her son being a POS killed her. Great woman, great coach, great leader.
Really?

Talk about being given keys to the kingdom. And he just squandered it away by using his gonads as brains.
I never knew about any of this until this thread. Looked it up, and, confirmed. Too bad.

Condolences to the Summitt family. By all accounts she was a fantastic person, coach, and mentor.

She was a great coach and person. May she RIP.
RIP Pat. Alzheimer's is a horrible disease. Very hard on an individual and a family. My condolences.

My greatest fear is that my parents get it. I don't know if I could deal with that.
Or spouse.
