Win No. 1: Jan. 10, 1975 In Knoxville, Tenn., Pat Head, the 22-year old University of Tennessee Lady Vol head coach, records her first collegiate win over Middle Tennessee State, 69-32, in UT's Alumni Gym. Fifty-three spectators were on hand. |
Win No. 600: Nov. 23, 1996 Four victories into the 1996-97 season, Summitt's defending NCAA Champs defeated Marquette, 83-68, in the Howard Bank Classic in Burlington, Vermont. The governor of the state of Vermont, Howard Dean, was on hand to surprise the coach with a cake commemorating her 600 win. Summitt's teams from 1993-96 fast-tracked the coach with the quickest 100 wins in her career, three years and two days. She was the fastest women's coach to reach 600 wins - just 734 games. |
|
Win No. 100: Jan. 13, 1979 Coach Head hits the century mark in the Lady Vols' third-ever win over the North Carolina St. Wolfpack, 79-66, at Reynolds Coliseum. To record her first 100 wins, it took Head's Lady Vols three years and 362 days to hit the century mark. |
Win No. 700: Dec 5, 1999 Pat Summitt reached the magical 700-win plateau at the University of Wisconsin with an 85-62 conquest of the Badgers. She joined Texas' Jody Conradt as the only women to notch the milestone. Her ascent to 700 wins was also the fastest in women's collegiate basketball. This set of 100 wins was knocked out in three years and 12 days along with three more NCAA titles. |
|
Win No. 200: Dec. 3, 1982 The Lady Vols deliver win number 200 to Coach Head at Detroit's Coca-Cola Classic. UT turns away a stubborn St. John's squad, 69-56, for the victory. Wins 100-200 took three years and 324 days to accomplish. |
Win No. 800: Jan. 14, 2003 An anxious throng at Thompson-Boling Arena anticipated win #800 as the Lady Vols jump out quickly against #25/24 ranked DePaul en route to a 76-57 victory. As the last seconds ticked down, the crowd chanted, "800, 800, 800!" The post game activities featured a giant "8-0-0" cake, balloons, flowers, fireworks and the presentation of the game ball. The latest set of 100 wins took three years and 38 days. |
|
Win No. 300: Jan. 4, 1987 It was hard to believe that five years (and 32 days) would elapse before Coach Pat Summitt would claim 100 more wins. Victory 300 came over North Carolina, 87-68, in front of the home folks. Nineteen wins after number 300 over UNC, Summitt's Lady Vols claimed UT's first NCAA title. |
Win No. 880: March 22, 2005 An electric atmosphere welcomed Tennessee and Purdue to the court for the NCAA Second Round game in Knoxville, Tenn. At stake was a win to advance in the tournament and a victory that would put coach Pat Summitt number one on the list of NCAA all-time winningest basketball coaches. With a 75-54 triumph over the Boilermakers, Summitt etched her name in the history books with her 880 victory. To commemorate her achievement, the University of Tennessee named its basketball court, "The Summitt," in a surprise ceremony. |
|
Win No. 400: Jan. 25, 1990 It was hard to believe that five years (and 32 days) would elapse before Coach Pat Summitt would claim 100 more wins. Victory 300 came over North Carolina, 87-68, in front of the home folks. Nineteen wins after number 300 over UNC, Summitt's Lady Vols claimed UT's first NCAA title. |
Win No. 900: Jan. 19, 2006 If you had to be away from your home arena for such a monumental milestone win, it was fortunate for Coach Pat Summitt and the Tennessee Lady Vols that the majority of the 13,127 fans in attendance at Memorial Gym in Nashville, Tenn., were bedecked in Orange and White for #900. Number one-ranked Tennessee remained perfect on the year at 18-0 as they knocked off #19-ranked Vanderbilt, 80-68, in a dramatic come-from-behind victory on Jan. 19, 2006. It was "W" number 900 for Summitt - a magical and uncharted victory plateau. It was the second quickest 100 wins in her career, just three years and four days. For this win, Hazel Head, Summitt's mother, sat on the Tennessee bench during the game. |
|
Win No. 500: Nov. 21, 1993 Pat Summitt's 500th victory came against a former assistant coach who had helped UT's mentor to 180 wins from 1978-85-- Nancy Darsch. Ohio State was no match for UT in the Inaugural State Farm Hall of Fame game, 80-45, in Jackson, Tenn. Victories 400-500 were accomplished in three years and 300 days . |
Win No. 1000: Feb. 5, 2009 Pat Summitt now has 1,000 victories, an unprecedented height even she finds dizzying. "It's a hard number to even comprehend," the Tennessee coach said. Summitt became the first Division I basketball coach -- men's or women's -- to win 1,000 career games Thursday night as her 12th-ranked Lady Vols beat Georgia 73-43. It was their second chance in four days at giving their coach her latest and one of her greatest milestones. |

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, tells of when Yow was her assistant for the 1984 Summer Olympics. "I had two players from Tennessee on that team in Lea Henry and Cindy Noble," Summitt said. "And I yelled at them constantly because I knew I could and they could take it. "One day, we were walking back from our practice gym and Kay said, very calmly and quietly, 'Well, you know, Pat, I just wonder if you've really thought about how much more that Cindy Noble and Lea Henry are going to learn from you.' "Then she said, 'I think they're both trying really hard and they both want to please you, but how much more do you think they can possibly do?' I remember shaking my head and saying, 'Good point.' And I backed off both of them. She was right. She made me a better coach just in subtle ways, in things she'd say to me." [Note: They both made history when the U.S. Olympic women's basketball team won it's first-ever gold medal that year in 1984.] Kay's Motto: Think positive, Never Quit; Live one moment at a time; Be thankful everyday. |
| Yow is part of an elite group of eight Olympic coaches chosen to lead USA Basketball in the pursuit of an Olympic gold medal in women's basketball. Yow was the head coach of the gold medal-winning Olympic team in Seoul, Korea in 1988. She also headed up gold medal winners at the 1981 World University Games, the 1986 Goodwill Games and the 1986 World Championship Games. In 1986, Yow's teams went 5-0 in the Goodwill Games and 7-0 in the World Championships; both resulting in gold medals. |
