Born Patricia Sue Head on June 14, 1952 in Clarksville, Tennessee, Summitt arrived at the University of Tennessee for her first job as a 22-year-old physical education teacher and coach in 1974. It was a hallmark achievement for a leader who received a plethora of national (seven times) and SEC coach of the year (eight times) accolades during her career. The first NCAA basketball coach to reach the 1,000-win plateau, her victory total still stands as the most in NCAA Division I women’s or men’s hoops history. As a result, not only was Tennessee highly successful on the hardwood, the program was perfect in graduating players. She was named to no fewer than eight halls of fame, including the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.
