Ciampi reacts to passing of Pat Summitt

AUBURN, Ala. (auburntigers.com) — “Pat Summitt is without a doubt the most iconic and important figure in the history of women’s basketball. Pat set the benchmark for all coaches to attain because of her passion and desire to win on and off the court. Her work ethic challenged each of us as coaches to improve each day by working harder and smarter. Pat’s competitive spirit, attention to detail with her trademark defense, and her ability to motivate each player to play their role and trust their teammate was her formula for championships.

I lost a friend today, but know Pat’s spirit will live forever within me and the countless people she impacted during her lifetime.”
