Pat Summitt And Her 1000th Victory

Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt becomes the first Division I coach, men's and women's to reach 1,000 wins as her 12th ranked Lady Volunteers team beats up 73-43 on Georgia. It was their second chance in four days at giving their coach her latest and one of her greatest milestones.

In the previous two seasons the Lady Volunteers with seven freshmen on the roster are like the squads who brought Summitt her seventh and eighth national championships. Phillip Fulmer, the former Tennessee football coach, and men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl were on hand for the remarkable feat.
