To put it in perspective: Pat Summitt averaged almost 29 wins per year--FOR 38 YEARS! Eight national championships. Wow!

| 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. | |

He was a great coach, but did not always compete fairly. | |
