Some big name tweeters there that has nothing to do with UT or womens BB. Pat Summitt, greatest college BB coach ever, male or female! Call me a homer, I DONT CARE!!

The only other college basketball coach one could compare to Pat Summitt is none other than John Wooden, but even he didn't dominate a sport for decades or have the number of players graduate under his tutelage. Pat had a 100% graduation rate, which is unheard of in most any college sports program.

Coaches like her only come around once in a lifetime. Just an amazing person and leader.

God Bless Coach Summit.

Pat's integrity puts her head and shoulders above Wooden. He was a great coach, but did not always compete fairly.

I don't do Twitter, but this was worth it (from 4/18 and 4/19.) The section with Brooke B was 10 (maybe more) separate tweets:

Donte' Stallworth ‏ @DonteStallworth
Noooo! RT @Catchin24: BREAKING: After 8 national titles and 1,098 wins, Pat Summitt steps down as Tennessee's coach - Pat Summitt steps aside as coach of Tennessee Lady Vols - ESPN

@Catchin24 damn Tamika... Have you talked to her recently? Please tell her I send my prayers and best wishes. LOVE me some Pat!!! #GoVols

@patsummitt we all love you my dear... You're in all of our thoughts and prayers Pat. #GodBlessYou #GoVols

I'll never forget my sophomore year, @patsummitt gave our pre-game speech before playing rival Florida... She had me too hype!! #LEGEND

YOU already know Kara! @patsummitt is AMAZING!!! RT @karalawson20: @DonteStallworth haha, she could get you hype!!

Brooke Baldwin ‏ @BrookeBCNN
Hey @DonteStallworth! Been a while... tell me more about that @PatSummitt pre-game speech... What made it so special? #CNN​
Donte' Stallworth ‏ @DonteStallworth
@BrookeBCNN @PatSummitt hey Brooke, how are you? Pat came in there in front of the team and no one knew exactly what to expect initially...
but she started out with, "they are in OUR house! This is Tennessee! We play championship ball here and they will...
leave Knoxville knowing that!" It lasted about 10 minutes... But the intensity in her speech was paramount!
obviously, she's well respected in all of sports, not just women's basketball. But I'll never forget the passion...
in her speech! It was synonymous to the speech from the movie 300! And that's no exaggeration... I knew Pat was....
intense just from watching their games, but to get a piece of it first hand... Something I'll NEVER forget...EVER!!
before that speech I already had love & respect for Pat. After that speech I fell in love with Pat. And it was then
...I completely understood how she had been so successful and won championships... On top of all that she is one of...
sweetest people you will ever meet. Intense, passionate, caring, demanding, loving... I could go on and on...
that's awesome. I can only imagine the impact she's had on the women she's coached and people she's been closely tied to.

Donte AND Pat, VFL's.
