The loss eliminated

Legendary coach
battled Alzheimer’s
since 2011
By STEVE MEGARGEE
Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Pat
Summitt, the winningest coach
in Division I college basketball
history who uplifted the women’s
game from obscurity to national
prominence during her 38-year
career at Tennessee, died Tuesday
morning. She was 64.
With an icy glare on the side-
lines, Summitt led the Lady Vols
to eight national championships
and prominence on a campus
steeped in the traditions of the
football-rich south until she retired
in 2012.
Her son, Tyler Summitt, issued
a statement Tuesday morning
saying his mother died peacefully
at Sherrill Hill Senior Living in
Knoxville surrounded by those
who loved her most.
“Since 2011, my mother has
battled her toughest opponent,
early onset dementia, ‘Alzhei-
mer’s Type,’ and she did so with
bravely fi erce determination just
as she did with every opponent
she ever faced,” Tyler Summitt
said. “Even though it’s incredibly
diffi cult to come to terms that
she is no longer with us, we can
all fi nd peace in knowing she no
longer carries the heavy burden of
this disease.”
Summitt helped grow college
women’s basketball as her Lady
Vols dominated the sport in the
late 1980s and 1990s, winning six
titles in 12 years. Tennessee — the
only school she coached — won
NCAA titles in 1987, 1989, 1991,
1996-98 and 2007-08. Summitt
had a career record of 1,098-208
in 38 seasons, plus 18 NCAA
Final Four appearances.
She announced in 2011 at age
59 that she’d been diagnosed
with early onset dementia. She
coached one more season before
stepping down. At her retirement,
Summitt’s eight national titles
ranked behind the 10 won by
former UCLA men’s coach John
Wooden. UConn coach Geno
Auriemma passed Summitt after
she retired.
When she stepped down,
Summitt called her coaching
career a “great ride.”

NFL defensive coaching legend
Buddy Ryan dies at age 85
(AP) — Longtime NFL coach Buddy Ryan
died on Tuesday morning at the age of 85.
Ryan spent 26 years as a coach in the
NFL, breaking into the league
FACES in 1968 as the defensive line
coach for the New York Jets. He
also coached for the Minneosta
Vikings, Chicago Bears, and
Houston Oilers, as well as being
the head coach for the Philadel-
phia Eagles (1986-1990) and
Arizona Cardinals (1994-1995).
Ryan
He is best remembered for
the famed 46 defense during his tenure as
defensive coordinator for Chicago from
1978-1985.
Ryan has two sons currently in the NFL
coaching circle, with Rex the head coach for
Buffalo and Rob a defensive assistant for the
Bills.
“I’ve always been excited
about the possible
opportunity, but there’s
quite a few different factors
that would turn somebody
away from going. It’s not
just one, there’s quite a few
factors.“

Rio Olympics to receive 6,755
hours of broadcast coverage
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) —
NBCUniversal’s TV and digital networks will

across 11 NBCU networks this August,
including two specialty channels for basketball
and soccer.
Another 4,500 hours or so will be streamed
live. This is the third straight Olympics that
