In Alzheimer's, In Bryan Harvey, In Dean Smith, In Joe Posnanski, In NCAA Hoops, In Pat Summitt, In Teach, In Tennessee VolsAugust 25, 2011
Above is Pat Summitt's announcement that she has early signs of dementia that down the road could very well lead to Alzheimer's, and here are four articles related or about the announcement:
-Clay Travis' "Pat Summitt Confronts Her Greatest Foe Yet" at Outkick the Coverage
-Christine Brennan's "Fighting Alzheimer's Might Be Pat Summitt's Greatest Legacy" at USA Today
-And my article "Dealing With Alzheimer's: Pat Summitt Battens Down the Hatches" at The Faster Times
-This news also made me think of another great basketball coach who is fighting the same disease on a much more private front: Dean Smith. This article, "Dean," by Joe Posnanski at Sports Illustrated is also worth reading.
