Pat Summitt, the legendary coach of the Tennessee women's basketball program has died. The Pat Summitt Foundation announced her passing this morning. She was 64.

Summitt coached Tennessee to 8 national championships in her 38 years as head coach. She won 1,098 career games, more than any other coach in Division 1 basketball history. Summitt stepped away from coaching in 2012 after being diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type.

A public memorial for Summitt is being planned in Tennessee.
