}} Patricia Sue "Pat" Summitt (born June 14, 1952)〔 is a former women's college basketball head coach. She now serves as the head coach emeritus of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team. She holds the record for the most all-time wins for a coach in NCAA basketball history of either a men's or women's team in any division. She coached from 1974 to 2012, always with the Lady Vols, winning eight NCAA championships, surpassed only by the 10 titles won by UCLA coach John Wooden and the 10 titles won by UConn coach Geno Auriemma. She was the first NCAA coach, and one of four college coaches overall, to achieve at least 1,000 wins (she achieved 1,098). She has the most wins of any NCAA basketball coach. Summitt was named the Naismith Basketball Coach of the Century in April 2000. In 2009, the Sporting News placed her at number 11 on its list of the 50 Greatest Coaches of All Time in all sports; she was the only woman on the list. In 38 years as a coach, she never had a losing season. In 2012, Pat Summitt was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. She received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2012 ESPY Awards. Summitt has written three books, all with co-author Sally Jenkins: ''Reach for the Summitt'', which is part a motivational book and part biography, ''Raise the Roof'' about the Lady Vols' 1997–1998 undefeated and NCAA-championship winning season, and ''Sum It Up'', covering her life including her experience being diagnosed and living with Alzheimer's disease.〔Amazon.com, (Books by Pat Summitt ), Retrieved March 13, 2013.〕 ==Early life and family== Summitt was born Patricia Sue Head in Clarksville, Tennessee. She has four siblings: older brothers Tommy, Charles and Kenneth, and a younger sister, Linda.〔ESPN (Tracking the ascension of Summitt ) March 19, 2012. Accessed March 13, 2013.〕 She married R. B. Summitt in 1980; the two filed for divorce in 2007. They have one son, Ross "Tyler" Summitt (b. 1990). When Summitt was in high school, her family moved to nearby Henrietta, so she could play basketball in Cheatham County because Clarksville did not have a girls team. From there, Summitt went to University of Tennessee at Martin where she was a member of Chi Omega and won All-American honors, playing for UT–Martin's first women's basketball coach, Nadine Gearin. In 1970, with the passage of Title IX still two years away, there were no athletic scholarships for women. Each of Summitt's brothers had gotten an athletic scholarship, but her parents had to pay her way to college. She later co-captained the first United States women's national basketball team as a player at the inaugural women's tournament at the 1976 Summer Olympics, winning the silver medal. Eight years later in 1984, she coached the U.S. women's team to an Olympic gold medal, becoming the first U.S. Olympian to win a basketball medal and coach a medal-winning team. Tyler Summitt, who played as a walk-on for the Tennessee men's basketball team,〔Griffith, Mike. "(Tyler Summitt's road to being a coach )" ''The Knoxville News-Sentinel'', 13 July 2010.〕 graduated from Tennessee in May 2012, was hired as an assistant coach by the Marquette University women's team effective with the 2012–13 season. In what ''ESPN.com'' columnist Gene Wojciechowski called "a bittersweet irony", Tyler's hiring by Marquette was announced on the same day his mother announced her retirement. After two seasons at Marquette, Tyler was hired in April 2014 as head coach of Louisiana Tech University's women's basketball team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://espn.go.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/10717737/tyler-summitt-introduced-coach-louisiana-tech-lady-techsters )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pat Summitt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
