Tyler Summitt resigns as Louisiana Tech women's coach

Tyler Summitt has resigned as Louisiana Tech women's basketball coach after only two seasons, apologizing for a relationship he was involved in through a statement released by the university.

School officials announced Summitt's resignation Thursday.

Summitt says he is "profoundly disappointed" in himself for a "relationship" that hurt the people he loves and respect most. Summitt, who got married in 2013, says it is best he resigns from his job at Louisiana Tech.
