A memorable night in Knoxville

In 2005, the court at Thompson-Boling Arena was named after Pat Summitt. Now Tennessee's legendary coach has a banner hanging over it.

Summitt was honored prior to Monday's loss to Notre Dame as Tennessee hoisted a banner to the rafters to hang alongside the Lady Vols' eight national championship banners.

Summitt stepped down in April 2012, about eight months after revealing she had been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type. She is now Tennessee's head coach emeritus.

Just like in 2005 when Pat Summitt became the all-time winningest coach and the court at Thompson-Boling Arena was christened "The Summitt," Hazel Head was on hand Monday to celebrate her daughter.
