Pat Summitt, the winningest coach in college basketball history, passed away Tuesday morning at the age of 64.
As the head coach of the Lady Vols at the University of Tennessee, Summitt won eight national championships in 38 seasons and never had a losing campaign. She finished her coaching career with a total of 1,098 wins in 1,306 games coached.
"There is a hole in the universe today," Kings assistant coach Nancy Lieberman told Kings.com. "Becky [Hammon] and I are not coaching in the NBA without Pat."
Former Monarchs and Tennessee guard Kara Lawson spoke to ESPN following the news and shared her personal experience playing under the legendary coach.
“Personally, she was a life changer for me,” said Lawson. “I played for her for four years, but she coached me a lot longer than that.”
Members of the Kings and former members of the Monarchs shared their thoughts on the passing of Summitt on Twitter:

My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...

Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards   CREDIT:  HBO   O h now, that was VERY impressive. And by “impressive” we mean gruelling, cathartic and upsetting. By the end of the Battle of the Bastards and the Jon Snow v Ramsay Bolton showdown over Winterfell   we felt as if we’d crawled through a freezing quagmire, climbed a wall of cadavers and gasped for breath as a dozen dying men sat on our faces .  Which, oddly enough, is exactly what befell Jon as the grumpy saviour negotiated the grandest mass battle Game of Thrones has yet mounted for our enjoyment/terror/disgust Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards A  cast of hundreds, a budget of millions, flayed men roasting on an open fire – season four’s penultimate episode had it all.
