Doc Rivers chokes up talking Pat Summit today

[bUTrosbUTrosVOLie]

at the end of his press conference. If you mods want to put this in one of the Pat threads, fine. I just thought it was unusual enough for its own thread.

Thanks for posting. Very classy of Doc to make mention of this.

Her impact goes beyond women's basketball, thanks for the post.

Pat was so much more than a basketball coach. She taught about life decisions and the way one should conduct himself/herself on and off the court. Will be missed in many different aspects of life in general. A real legacy to the University of Tennessee .

Just made me a Celtics fan. (Had no serious NBA allegiance before). Nice show of class.

You're a full on Celtics fan now because of this? You'll be liking a lot of NFL teams in the next couple of days then...

There is no doubt that Pat was well liked and respected. She is going to be missed.

Not full-on necessarily. (I'm not going to be buying any Rondo jerseys anytime soon.) But I don't see any harm in wishing them well and pulling for them when their coach shows real emotion and class concerning one of our own.

I met Doc when he was towards the end of his career...he was a great guy, he took the time to sign a bunch of stuff and even made Oakley come over and sign for a kid who had his jersey on.

I hate the Celtics but that was a classy move by Doc. He's got my respect.

Thanks for posting, Doc is a class act

So is President Obama. Such a great move to give her the Medal of Freedom.
