W. Basketball. Summitt Introduced as Louisiana Tech Head Coach

[Dawg06]

It looks like he is/was a candidate for the current Minnesota HC job opening.

Tyler Summitt, Marquette: Tyler is the son of former Tennessee coach and legend Pat Summitt. He is young, but has quickly made an outstanding impression on Minnesota high school coaches on the recruiting front since arriving in the Midwest two years ago.

Is this true or an April Fools joke?

I think the WBB coach part is true and the TAC part is not.

I think that is a candidate for Asst. Coach

Nope. Head coaching candidates. He's just listed with the current assistants.

BTW last year he interviewed for the HC positions at Chattanooga and Coastal Carolina but obviously didn't get either job.

We can remove the question mark! We have a new head coach, Coach Summitt!

That's funny, I didn't even notice the TAC part.

I think this is a great hire, but fans are going to have to cut him some slack for a year or two. It will be interesting who he hires for assistants.

[96bulldog]

Very interesting. If this is an April Fools joke, it is going to be one of the biggest ever. Just look at the places that are already carrying the miniature release so far!

[champion110]

I am VERY pleased with this hire!

I think a lot of our posters on the board have been watching this with a wary eye, careful not to get punked.
