| Doc Rivers chokes up talking Pat Summit today
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. Doc addresses Pat Summitt's retirement - YouTube

| 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 . | |

(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. | |
