HOLY COW! "Pat Summitt (Played at UT Martin and won 1976 silver medal in basketball during a time she was also serving as UT's coach; Coached U.S. women to 1984 gold medal)"

If I'm reading this right, she won a silver as a player whilst coaching the vols as well. Personally, this adds to the respect I have for Pat. Has anyone heard of this before? I don't have time to google right now; were the lady vols big back then? Did she play with any of her players from the team?

Women's basketball wasn't big back then.
