Was pat summitt gay
Pat Head Summitt isn’t a lesbian…and we aren’t the only ones saying so.
Pat Head Summitt stepped down in April from a job she held for 38 years – head coach for Tennessee’s Lady Volunteers basketball team. Summitt did for women’s college basketball in the U.S what Tiger Woods did for golf: They made their sports interesting and relevant to the fans, and because of their groundbreaking actions, they paved the way for young boys and girls to consider sports opportunities that had never existed before.
So, why would a lesbian writing a lesbian blog even refer Summitt?
It is unlikely, despite her strong and assertive personality and commanding information of basketball, that Summitt is a lesbian. Married for twenty five years prior to her divorce, there has never been much fact or fiction to support a classified lesbian lifestyle. Back in the mid-2000’s, there were even assertions that Summitt refused to recruit famous lesbians to play for the Lady Vols. I don’t know if this is true but, again, it seems unlikely that Summitt ever strayed from a heterosexual lifestyle.

Lady Vols Country
I attended my first Lady Vols basketball game in the Nineties, when I was a teenager and when the team was on its historic run, winning three national championships in three years. Pat wore a power suit and her hair compact, and she was legendary for her stare that contained multitudes. She exuded a version of womanhood I had never seen. On my way to the game, an older male family member had told me to be careful not to get kidnapped, insinuating that lesbians lurked in bathrooms at Lady Vols games. This same family member would just as quickly exclaim that Pat Summitt was the greatest coach of all day. So good, in fact, that the NBA tried to hire her as a coach. So excellent that she was qualified to give men advice.
This was but one example of the paradoxes we lived with in Lady Vols Country—a profound pride in the woman who overpowered college basketball, men’s and women’s, alongside anxiety about the meaning of a woman-controlled space. Pat had made a career of navigating these contradictions, but it all started with the uncomplicated act of her parents giving their daughter permission to live the existence she craved.

So is the difference real or imagined? I mean if you ace every exam, and bring a perfect grade at UT, are Valedictorian; That isn't enough? Tiger Woods Graduated from Stanford, and doesn't even know how to eat a Banana.

Are you saying there isn't a difference in the level of education you acquire at Stanford versus that you'd receive at Tennessee? Really?
And I think we all know that being book smart doesn't always equate to having common instinct -- so plenty of really smart people graduate from uppermost institutions all the time who are lucky they don't fetch hit by a bus every time they cross the highway. And we also know that the smartest people don't always graduate from the top institutions.
I'm sure she did her due diligence during the college process and decided that Stanford was the best fit for her AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. When I was doing my college find, there were plenty of excellent schools close to where I lived, but I wasn't looking at anything within a two state radius -- I needed to get away. I will be the first one to tell any of my students not to get hung

Here's a little of it. The rest discusses KM calling PS for advice on how to coach and be a parent, when KM was pregnant with her first youngster. Also, PS called KM when they were both divorcing, for advice. KM visited PS shortly before her death.
BATON ROUGE - Kim Mulkey’s memories of Pat Summitt go back to her playing days at Louisiana Tech, and the games the Lady Techsters won each occasion they played Tennessee and the celebrated women's basketball coach.
Which is to say every game.
But for Mulkey, who takes No. 8 LSU to No. 14 Tennessee on Sunday (1 p.m. CT, ESPN2) in her first season as coach of the Tigers after 21 seasons and three national championships at Baylor, it’s a moment not long before the 1984 Summer Olympics that remains etched in her mind.
Summitt was the coach and Mulkey a signal guard as the United States prepped overseas for the Los Angeles Games.
“I’m starting. I’m doing great,” Mulkey said. “And we go to Taipei, Taiwan, before the Olympics, and I wake up and can’t walk.”
Mulkey had a emphasize fracture in the top of her foot.
“So immediately my thought was, ‘I’ve worked all my
