Auburn’s Williams-Flournoy reacts to Pat Summitt’s passing
“Pat Summitt is the reason our game is where it is today. She was the coach that everyone in our game aspires to be. But more importantly, she was the person that we all should aspire to be. Pat was a fierce competitor on the court and a strong, caring, compassionate woman off the court. Her desire to win with defense was an inspiration to my coaching philosophy. And her demand for excellence carried over to the classroom – her 100% graduation rate is a testament to her refusal to accept anything less than the best from her players.
On behalf of the Auburn women’s basketball family, I extend my heartfelt condolences, sympathies and prayers to the Summitts and the Lady Vol family. There will never be another like Pat Summitt.”
