pat head

the university of tennessee's own pat head summitt, the winningest (and best dressed) coach in all of college sports, is profiled in the times today. its pretty good.
Such searing intensity and unyielding expectation have brought her 8 national titles and 1,067 career victories. That is more wins than any other college coach, man or woman.
A ninth title now appears in reach for the fourth-ranked Lady Vols (30-2), a tall, deep and skilled perimeter-shooting team built on the admonishment that Summitt’s father gave her when she lost her inaugural game at Tennessee, in 1974: “Don’t take donkeys to the Kentucky Derby.” (via)
