Summitt also intends to revamp game-day shooting practices, shortening the length while increasing the pace. She's borrowing from the philosophy of former Tennessee men's coach Kevin O'Neill.
"Without the language,'' said Summitt in a joking reference to O'Neill's salty dialogue. "I love Kevin but the language was a little more than I can handle."

She's going to borrow an offensive drill from O'Neill--who is one of the worst offensive coaches in the country? PS is a legend, but coaching offense is not exactly her strength. DEFENSE!!! REBOUNDING!!

As much as I love Bruce, I have more confidence that Pat can turn her team around than Coach Pearl.
