Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt is the first women’s basketball coach to make over $1 million a year. And hey, she’s earned it. She’s built an incredible program, and you certainly can’t argue with her results. Before all is said and done, though, I’d really love to see her get a shot at coaching men.
It’s not that I don’t think she can do it… I’m just really curious about it. Even if it never happens, and we never get an answer, she’s a great coach. That can’t possibly be taken away from her. But I think it would be fascinating to see. I think it would work. I think she’d have their respect, and I think they’d play as hard for her as anyone ever has. And she’d have to adjust, too… going from basketball that is strictly fundamental, to situations where you have to deal with a player who can just jump over everyone and dunk the hell out of the ball.
But hey, congrats to Pat Summitt. $1 million can buy a lot of pantsuits.

From the looks of things, she’s singing,
Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
For the day I die, I’mma touch the sky
My god, I’m sleepy.

Dude, the sad part is, they continually offer her the job to coach the Men’s team at Tennessee and she keeps saying she wants to stick to the girls. She may be a good coach, but she isn’t going to get the respect she deserves unless she takes a shot at the men’s team.

Maybe Pat prefers the larger challenge of coaching women.
Come on, can’t you guys give props to what she’s done for women’s college basketball, for women’s collegiate atheletics? Considering the amount of influence she has on women’s athletics, is it really a step up to coach a men’s team?
I think the bigger question is, when’s Phil Jackson gonna coach a women’s team?

I wouldn’t coach the men’s team at tennessee either. They suck, lousy recruiting, she’d get a lot of sensative guys who think they will get points for banging the pant-suited milf.
wait, did I just mention pat summit and sex in the same sentence? shoot me.
