Pat Summitt is a class act. Even more amazing than her 1000 wins is that she has won them the picture of grace under pressure. Kudos, Pat!

And not only has she had success with winning games but her players graduation rate is phenomenal.

Congrats Pat on your 1000 wins and helping those ladies graduate.

You got that right.

I had the pleasure of teaching a Lady Vol once. Pat has a rule that her players have to sit in the front 2 rows of their classes, and Pat herself contacts her players' instructors to make sure they're doing ok. At least that's how it was about 10 years ago, I don't know if she still has those same rules.

So, congrats to Pat Summitt for her 1000th victory, for being such an excellent coach, mentor, and just a first-class lady!

Yes, congrats to the best ever, and just hope they keep playing like tonight, and for sure have a chance to make it to the final four. We sat beside her in Pasadena, and have spent other times with her, and always a class act. She deserves all the credit and attention from all the media.

Wow! Amazing! She's an all-around educator; not just a coach and an individual truly interested in success for her student/players. TN is proud and those of us away from TN feel that success as well.

Congratulations Lady Vols and Coach Summitt.
