Oh and as to how appreciative we are not only is the court named after her but we did the following (shown below). For perspective Neyland only recently got a statue and it's in the Stadium. She's the only other coach we've honored like this and she got an entire Plaza which is actually pretty huge because space is so limited on our campus.
Close up of unveiling:
Statue/writing:
As you can see from the pic below it's located in one of the most prominent spots on campus and is setup to maximize monument traffic (between a very frequented parking garage and Thompson-Boling). That actually speaks volumes, imo.
I'm quite proud of the job campus did with this one. Even the sculptor did well and too often they mess likenesses up to the point you can hardly recognize the person. The plaza also does a very tasteful lighting of Pat's name/signature at night which I didn't post. If anyone's interested I can post it.

That's truly great, for a truly great coach. My previous comments stand about her.
I hope this doesn't sound derogatory at all, but one of my dogs is named Summitt after coach Pat. That's how much we respect and admire her.
