Pat Summitt Steps Down to Fight Battle Against Early Onset Alzheimers

Pat Summitt recently announced she's giving up her head coaching role at Tennessee. Summitt was the head coach of the Lady Volunteers and has the most wins ever of any NCAA coach.

Pat's decision comes after announcing a few months ago that she had been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease at the age of 59. Coach Summitt has been hailed for her decision to go public with her battle against Alzheimer's, and along with her son, has established a foundation to further research and raise awareness of the disease. She will also continue to serve as head coach emeritus.

Coach, we're rooting for you! Thanks for your many years of shaping collegiate basketball.
