Many athletes, coaches, and dignitaries have sent out tributes to Pat Summitt, who passed away at the age of 64 from early-onset dementia on Tuesday.
Candace Parker, one of the best Summitt ever coached, sent her condolences via Twitter by sharing a letter she received from the legendary coach when trying to recruit Parker.
Parker scored 2,137 points in her three year career at Tennessee, while also winning back-to-back national titles in 2007 and 2008, Summitt's last.
