I've long been a fan of Tennessee's women's basketball coach Pat Summit, now the winningest bb coach (either gender) in history. I admire her work ethic, her intensity, her icy stare, her discipline, her no-nonsense attitude (she'll bench a show boat).
So it was astounding to find her in a cheerleading uniform, cheering on the men's team. She did it to return a favor owed the men's bb coach, who made a similar display of support at a recent women's game. Summit had good timing for her out-of-character gesture. The arena was filled with celebrities, including Peyton Manning, and Tennessee went on to upset #5 Florida.
Can March Madness be far behind?
