Geno was telling recruits/parents that Pat and Holly were sleeping with players and turning them into lesbians. Maybe that was true, maybe it wasn’t. But Pat’s two closest disciples to get their own gigs wound up losing those jobs because they were sleeping with players (Mickie Demoss, Tyler Summit). Maybe that’s a coincidence, but it seems like something that must have been normal to them.

The Moore recruitment was the last straw for Summitt. She was stunned by the list of demands Moore's mother brought to her, demands that were very much against the recruiting rules, and was even more stunned when UConn seemingly met those demands. That's what Summitt meant by "you and I both know we aren't playing by the same rules."

I am a UConn fan through and through and adore Auriemma, but I also have so much respect for Pat Summitt as a coach and as a person. Despite how demanding and disciplined she was, she was never afraid to be herself; I remember when Bruce Pearl was in the stands as a shirtless fan during a Lady Vols game, and Summitt showed her appreciation by dressing up like a cheerleader and singing "Rocky Top" at the a future men's game, which blew my mind given her cold sideline demeanor. Her presence made all of college basketball better and is still sorely missed.

Pat Head Summitt is my favorite coach in any sport at any level. And i miss her dearly 💙🧡

An important point in this is that Geno has a fundamental three point checklist in recruiting players: 1. Be an excellent player. 2. Be a committed team player. 3. No interference by her family. Comparing the two is interesting, but their successes flowed from their focus on excellence.

Iowa lost not because South Carolina was a better team. Nope. They had a freak of nature 6’7” player who couldn’t even make a high school JV team if she was below 6’. 😢

R.I.P. to the GOAT female coach and one of the best coaches of all time, Pat Summitt!

As someone who grew up in CT at this time and remember how hardcore the state was for the Lady Huskies, Pat Summitt was absolutely every bit our equal. Those UConn-Lady Vols games were terrifying because of how good of a coach she was

It's pretty special how no matter how intense and personal a competitive rivalry can get, the mutual respect can always resurface

I always loved that, for a time, the regular season series was a home and home series. They were more familiar with each other than some of their conference opponents during that stretch and it was EPIC!

Wonderful video!! Both are great coaches. I was a UConn fan during the early 00’s, but recently visited the UT campus and Women’s HOF. Everyone was so welcoming and talked to me about Pat. One of the ladies knew her and told me story after story. I left feeling like I knew and lost her as a personal friend. I still say, GO UCONN HUSKIES!!! but am #TeamPat when it comes to this beef.

This is truly one of the best channels on KZread. Your storytelling is second to none. What an amazing, amazing video. Thank you so much for making KZread a better place.

Pat is such a legend we were taught her definite dozen coaching model for one of my classes in college! This women deserves to be remembered as one of Basketball’s greatest coaches especially since her impact will be felt for years to come in future generations!

As a huge Pat Summitt fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. Thank you for putting it together. Never forget the 3 Meeks, Kelly Jolly (Harper), Kristen Clement... that 95-1999 group was phenomenal for the Lady Vols.

Growing Up In Knoxville I got to meet Pat many times she even paid a home visit to my aunt who was 3 star recruit Back in 2009 Such a sweet lady But on that court it’s different monster Truly One Of The Greats🔥

Great video! Love a beef that gets cleared up at the end.

This was a really interesting beef history! Another great video!!!

Part of me wonders if the “odd behaviour” Coach Summitt displayed were the beginning stages of her dementia. I know from extensive experience that even before the worst of it appears, out of character choices start cropping up. Friendships that were vital are suddenly over because of a small slight. Moods shift faster than the speed of light. Habits that were engrained for decades change drastically. I hope as we learn more about dementia and Alzheimer’s that we can start to see these signs in more tangible ways. That way, we can help our loved ones that are struggling with it. Most of all: Rest in power, Pat and kudos to Geno for doing his all at the end to restore their friendship. ❤️

Don't know the truth of this, but I had heard that Pat thought that Geno had had Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird helping with recruiting Maya Moore, driving her around and such, and she was mad about that and thought it was in violation, but they couldn't have done it because they had both been playing overseas when the alleged incident happened.

I'm glad their beef got resolved before she passed. This is pure speculation, but I think that if you asked Geno if he regretted any of his actions during the heat of that rivalry, that he would say yes.

The quote, "As Iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another." Geno vs Pat is an example of this quote.

My dad did sports information stuff for UNC 's women's basketball in the 90s. Nothing but great things to say about Summitt, nothing but bad about Auriemma.

As a Connecticut resident I am fortunate enough to have been able to witness the rise of both the UConn women's and mens college basketball teams into elite programs. The rivalry with Summit always made the Huskies a better team even in losses because the Vols were the high water mark for that era. There has never been a rivalry that great in women's college basketball and idk if there ever will be. Respect due and RIP to Summit,she has earned her flowers and then some.

This beef defined my childhood. Growing up in CT, my family lived and died on those games. My sister and I fought over who had to sleep on camping trips with the Tennessee orange pillow and got a huge kick out of wearing our UConn championship tshirts to Dollywood. One time, we got chosen to stand in the tunnel before a WNBA game and give players high fives as they came out, and i took my hand away when the TN players came by. But all respect to the legendary coach Pat, gone way too soon.

The game wasn't big enough for both of them. This has happened many times in many sports, and in life itself. When the fighting is finally over, when there's no need to beat each other anymore, the great rivals make their peace.

Pat couldn't stand getting beat by UCon. Pat's teams won for years with her press. Athletic, black girls pressured turnovers into quick scores. Through the years, when the rest of the teams caught up, she had no halfcourt offense. Eventually, she hired someone to teach a halfcourt offense and became competitive again.
