Unfortunate views

Last week University of Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summit recorded her 780th career victory....in her honor, the university named the court after her "The Summit"....however, some close minded males have complained....

It was reported that by naming the basketball court after Summit, that it could possible hamper the Tennessee men's program from recruiting top basketball players because they would not want to play on a court named after a woman....

First off, "top basketball players and Tennessee" is an oxymoron.....the Vols men's program has been putrid for as long as I can remember.....I cannot recall the last time Tennessee was ranked late in the season....

This ignorance by some just shows that at times a person's sex, race, or creed still matters.....Pat Summit has done more for the University of Tennessee than any other coach (including football).....and it is ashame that someone had to question an honor that she so richly deserves....
