Was sad to hear this on the evening news (just the other day there was a story on singer Glenn Campbell having alzheimer's)... but she seems pretty confident that it's not going to keep her down.

Don't follow women's basketball, at all but Pat Summit was the biggest ambassador and coaching talent for this sport it really going to hurt Women's College basketball now that she has left
