***NCAA B-Ball 2011/2012 Thread!!***

Originally posted by mommehK The #1 winningest coach in the history of NCAA basketball is stepping down. Pat Summit leaves after announcing months back that she has early-onset Alzheimer's. That sucks so much -- she is a phenomenal coach no matter how much you hate TN! And buh-bye to the whole starting lineup for Kentucky -- they all declared for the draft, together. The one-and-done Calipari Farm is alive and thriving.

Pat was a hell of a coach and did wonders for Women's sports beyond the realm of basketball.

"The one-and-done Calipari Farm" is pretty funny lol. Also.. I really have a distaste for the guy so I'm not too put out by his players leaving. Sure gonna make picking next years tourney winner a little more difficult, though!

broys -- if I had my guess, it's because of backroom discussions that the Snake in the Grass hopes the NCAA doesn't get wind of. He's had a history of leading teams to scandals and sanctions and vacated wins, and he'll flub up and do the same at UK. I despise the slime ball personally.



Pat's gonna stay on as "Head Coach Emeritus" and will continue to mentor players and apparently have a hand in recruiting. Did any of y'all see the behind-the-scenes show a number of years ago, I think it was HBO (maybe associated with Real Sports), that followed her & the Lady Vols for a season? She's a tough-as-nails hard bitcherooniedoonie of a coach, that's for sure!

^^^Correction: You'll get picked at the next level. and probably bench warm. But hey you can do it a few years earlier than if you stay and develop your game!

Scandals, sanctions, vacated wins. That's how Calipari did it at Memphis & UMass also, and of course he's carried that tradition on at UK.
