Pat Summitt's Bio & Career Stats: http://utladyvols.cstv.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/summitt_pat00.html

Now, I know it is apples and oranges to compare the careers of these two. However, this reminds me of the movie 'A Time to Kill'. Anyone remember the end, during Jake's closign argument, he asks the jurors to imagine a scenario of a little girl, etc. etc. (very illegal to do in trial, but anyways). Then we watch the amazed faces of the jurors when he asks, "Now imagine that she is white". If someone put Pat Summitt's career in front of you, without a picture and taking the word 'woman' or 'women's' out of there... tell me you wouldn't give up the house to have this persona s your team's coach?
