Pat Summitt, who has won more games than any basketball coach in NCAA history, is stepping down after 38 seasons at the University of Tennessee as she continues her battle with early onset dementia.
Summitt, 59, who had 1,098 games and an NCAA record eight national championships, will remain head coach emeritus. Long-time assistant Holly Warlick, who led the team this season after Summitt revealed her medical condition in August, will be the new head coach.
“I’ve loved being the head coach at Tennessee for 38 years, but I recognize that the time has come to move into the future and to step into a new role,” Summitt said in a statement.
