  • WBCA Responds to Announcement of Tennessee Head Coach Pat Summitt's Diagnosis
    WBCA Responds to Announcement of Tennessee Head Coach Pat Summitt's Diagnosis CEO Beth Bass: "Pat Summitt's name is synonymous with women's basketball, and the WBCA family is saddened by the news of her diagnosis. I use the term ‘family' in the most sincere way, because even though the women's basketball coaching community may seem dysfunctional at times, we are a family and take care of our own. Regardless of our differences, we always come together, rally around and support each other in moments like these. "Pat is a fierce competitor. Her decision to make this diagnosis public is a testament to her courage. She will face this challenge with the same tenacity and fortitude that makes her a champion. Because of this we are confident Pat will continue to be a formidable presence in women's basketball, a game she has played such a crucial role in growing, for many years to come. "The thoughts and prayers of the WBCA family are with Pat Summitt and the entire Lady Vols nation." WBCA President and Arizona State head coach Charli Turner Thorne: "We ask that you extend your support to the Lady Volunteer Coaching staff during this difficult time. We encourage everybody to do their part to be respectful of Pat's health. While many of us are competitors on the court, we are all part of a big family that has always had a tradition of ‘rallying around' our own. Well, put on your ‘rally hat' and let's be supportive and positive towards a coach who has paved the road for so many of us!" WBCA Past-President and Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma: "I was shocked and saddened to hear about the news regarding Pat Summitt's diagnosis.
