As an aspiring coach, and huge Tennessee fan, I loved what I saw coach Pat Summit do this past Tuesday. Coach Summit and the Lady Vols lost in the first round of the NCAA playoffs Monday for the first time in school history. So what did they do Tuesday? They practiced. Coach Summit said that they weren't good enough to be out on the floor at the tournament, so they were going to get better on the practice floor. She is a winner, simply put. She doesn't lose and when she does, she is going to go to great lengths to make sure it doesn't happen again. I love it. She could have used plenty of excuses. The Lady Vols just lost Candace Parker and the rest of their starters from last years championship team. But coach Summit doesn't make excuses. She finds a way to get better and win with what she has, and she has been very successful doing so.
