I want to congratulate Pat Summitt on reaching her 1,000th career win tonight with a 73-43 rout of Georgia. Summitt has been coaching for 33 seasons, so to do this feat she has AVERAGED 30 wins a season over her career. Rediculous.
Personally, I don't like Summitt at all because I am a die-hard UConn fan, but I respect the hell out of her. What she has done is truly impressive, and while some coach(es) will probably duplicate this feat some day, no one can take away the fact that she was the first coach to achieve win number 1,000.
Tennessee has always been the lone team that I have been concerned about as a UConn fan, even if I don't follow women's basketball. UConn and Tennessee are women's basketball year-in-year out. If you put $10 on UConn and $10 on Tennessee to win the title every year for each of the next 10 years, I guarantee you would come out way ahead, especially considering the odd you would get on betting on the national champion 10 years from now.
But I wish all the best to Summitt and Tennessee, that is, until they go against UConn. In that case, Summitt can wait another game to add to her incredible total. Pat, you truly have reached the summit of coaching.
