[size=-1] Win puts Summitt on top in career victories [/size] [size=-1] By DAVID CLIMER

[/size] [size=-1]KNOXVILLE — Minutes before tip-off, she walked purposefully toward the Tennessee bench, her arrival accompanied by the kind of applause and adoration normally reserved for football coaches and star quarterbacks in Big Orange Country.[/size]

[size=-1]This night belonged to Pat Summitt.[/size]

[size=-1]By evening's end, Summitt had secured career victory No. 880, the most ever by an NCAA basketball coach. Dean Smith won 879 games in 36 seasons at North Carolina. Smith retired in 1997.[/size]

[size=-1]After the 75-54 victory over Purdue in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, UT officials announced that the court at Thompson-Boling Arena had been named The Summitt in her honor.[/size]

[size=-1]A tearful Summitt waved to the crowd after the announcement and hugged her mother, Hazel Head.[/size]

[size=-1]''She's always worked hard to be the best at everything she did,'' Head said. ''I'm proud of her. We're all proud of her.''[/size]

[size=-1]At a press conference later, Summitt said the naming of the court for her was ''an incredible honor for me personally.''[/size]

[size=-1]''I never expected anything like that.''[/size]

[size=-1]Several of Summitt's former players, including four members of her first Lady Vols team from the 1974-75 season, were in the house for the historic game.[/size]

 

If Dean had been allowed to play half his tournament games at Chapel Hill, she'd still be chasing him.
