Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3269740, member: 6620"] Whoa...good question. I find myself going back to when women's basketball was just beginning to make inroads at "major" universities. As such, I don't know if these following players were "superstars" as we would refer to them now, per se, but they were very accomplished: - Pat Summit at University of Tennessee-Martin. Summitt still holds numerous UT Martin records from her 1970-74 playing career. At UT Martin she was a member of the school's most successful basketball team, the 1972-73 team which compiled a 22-3 record. In addition, she was a co-captain of the United States Women's Olympics Basketball Team that won a silver medal in the 1976 Olympics held in Montreal. She then over to Knoxville. - Debbie Ryan was a very good point guard for a very small school (Ursinus) and she then went to UVA, became an assistant coach and her first HC job was at the University of Virginia. She got to the finals once, several final fours and coached one of the other people mentioned in this thread, Dawn Staley. [/QUOTE]
