I love Doc for doing this.
Unfortunately, Summitt's retirement, and Summit herself, will not get the proper recognition from the masses for a variety of reasons. But the fact is, as Doc said, she's a great coach. You don't sustain that level of greatness at any level, much less at the Division 1 level, if you're not.
Basketball is worse off for not having Pat Summitt around. I appreciate Doc taking the moment to acknowledge that, and giving Celtics fans a reason to acknowledge it, even briefly.
