US Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn) today spoke on the floor of the Senate about University of Tennessee Women’s Basketball Team Head Coach Pat Summitt’s retirement. Alexander said, “there will be much said about her winning record and it’s an astonishing accomplishment. 1098 wins in basketball, more than any other coach, man or woman, in the sport; eight national championships in the Southeastern Conference, 32 Southeastern Conference titles, 31 straight trips to the NCAA tournament. But the statistic that I always valued most, especially when I was President of the University, was every single one of Pat Summitt’s athletes who have completed their eligibility with her, have graduated from the University of Tennessee. That’s over 38 years.” US Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) joined Sen. Alexander in applauding Coach Summitt’s career, saying “she has set the standard and I join you in your praise of her.”
