The South Lawn

“When you play hard, you end up right here at the White House.”

“Pat Summitt knows something about coaching. We’re proud to welcome this soon-to-be, if not already, Hall of Fame* coach, and the ladies basketball team from the University of Tennessee.” (Applause.)

***
“This is, by the way, the eighth time in nine years that the Nanooks have been the NCAA champions in Rifle. Interestingly enough, guess who they beat? West Point. Anytime you outshoot West Point, you’re really good at what you do.” (Laughter.)

***
“People are wondering how champs behave.”

  *In 1999, Summitt was inducted with the inaugural class to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. In 2000, she joined Isiah Thomas as an inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
