On her 1000th victory. It is an outstanding accomplishment. However, what I find fascinating is that she also has a 100% graduation rate in her basketball program, and she mentioned it last night during the speech. She’s as proud of that as she is of the win. Even before the days of the WBNA, her “girls” were going to be successful in life as well as basketball.

Coach Summitt was mic’d during the game last night, and the effect of her comments to the players was evident when in the last seconds of the game, with a huge lead, they were still fighting, still shooting, still playing defense, and still scoring.

I think I’ll try to find a picture of Coach Summitt’s famous glare and use it as the wallpaper on my computer screen. Then when the writing feels like it’s too much to handle, I can imagine Coach Summitt has me on the sidelines saying things like , “Get up in their face” and “Don’t back down.”

Have a great weekend, everyone!
Jessie
