FAYETTEVILLE -- It takes great confidence and great ego to be a great coach but greater humility to be a great person.
Many coaches have the ego part down pat.
Not many have it and the humility all down Pat.
Pat Summitt always did with a capital P. The Tennessee Lady Volunteers women's basketball coaching legend did to her last breath that Alzheimer's stole Tuesday morning.
Dying at only 64, Summitt was diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, in August 2011. Summitt coached her last season in 2011-2012 after publicly revealing her illness. She fought Alzheimer's until the end.
