Lady Vols Coach Taken Out By Ninja Raccoon

Like many top-flight athletes Tennessee women's hoops coach Pat Summitt underwent the offseason peril of arthroscopic shoulder surgery. No, she didn't dislocate the joint while a dunking a basketball (ha! can you imagine!?), but she had been suffering from "instability" problems after heroically saving her dog from a vicious raccoon attack.

Pat Summitt Should Be The Next Coach Of The Knicks

We congratulate the Tennessee Volunteers — we never like calling women's college teams the "Lady" somethings — for their national championship last night. For some reason, it's a little more touching when the elderly mother of the winning coach comes down on the court when the coach is a woman. We're not sure why. More »

We try not to get too caught in domestic intranquility here — life is messy and ugly sometimes, and it hardly seems something to revel in unless it involves a Christie — but since we were late on it yesterday, and it involves a coaching legend who happens to have a stadium named after her, we feel obliged to point it out.

Well, That Was A Bit Of A Letdown

Whether she was channeling Bruce Pearl or Minnie Pearl, Pat Summitt's antics before the Tennessee men's game on Tuesday was the least offensive aspect of the evening, as it turns out. When one considers that Dick Vitale was there, and that Peyton Manning was in the crowd singing, viewers should consider themselves lucky that the cameras focused mainly on Summitt. More »

Ready For Some Good, Old-Fashioned College Basketball Nightmare Fuel?

Note to Bruce Pearl: There's such a thing as overselling an event, as may be the case tonight when Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt is supposed to appear at the men's game against No. 5 Florida and "do something special." Pearl (personal motto: Dignity, Always Dignity), the Tennessee men's coach, painted himself orange and cheered in the student section for the women's game against Duke on Jan. 22. And he says that Summitt, the winningest basketball coach in NCAA history, is going to go quid pro quo. And he gets his point across in this chilling paragraph: More »
