r a coach to start at the age of 22 and first build from scratch and then maintain a championship level program for close to 40 years is almost impossible to fathom. She really is one of the pioneers responsible for taking women's college basketball from its infancy and turning it into the multi million dollar business that it is today.  

Sure Geno Auriemma will break all her coaching records, and he'll probably go down as the greatest women's college basketball coach of all time (and rightfully so for his work at UCONN). But considering how Summit started and that she had to build a program in an era where women's college basketball was looked down upon, her legacy is really beyond reproach.
