Tyler Summit resigns after getting player pregnant

[KendallCat]

Not sure what he was thinking since the wife was hotter than the player and no penalties that I know of for sleeping with your own wife. Of course like with Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley - no matter how hot she is someone somewhere got tired of tapping that and went on to something else.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Scores!!!!!.....................................................and One!.......................................

 

[zannmann]

Wife must have stop putting out. She is far hotter than any man thing on that team. You know what they say, the best contraceptive in the world is wedding cake.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Blast from the past. Mickie Demoss is on staff there.

She likes the gals too

 

[tank2009]

Go backdoor......and one!!

 

[Ugoff]

no doubt...

again, not condoning...

I think we have to understand the culture in which he grew up...this type of encounter is probably not as taboo to him as it is to us because he grew up in women's sports...

I have to say, I totally disagree with this take. Coach knocking up a player is off the charts bad and if it wasn't "taboo" to him he's got some issues, to say the least. I don't think Pitino could top it.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

These metaphors and puns are priceless

 

[Kai Slater]

That is some Krazeee stuff right there!!
I wonder if Ricky P. will throw a baby shower for them at Minardi Hall ?

 

[sambowieshin]

I always thought Delle Donna was cute.

A little too close to the SheMale question mark zone for my taste. Big ole shoulders and not enough lady lumps n humps.

 

[KendallCat]

Where the heck would learn something like hitting on female players from?

 

[UKUGA]

From everything I've read today, the Pope is cool with this.

totally understand...

but I think perspective is important in this...

he's 25 years old...so he's college age...about the same age as a lot of grad students...so if we take the title of coach out of the picture...then it's really a 25 year grad student aged young man shacking up...not extremely out of the ordinary...

"he's the coach..."...indeed...but i'd say there are law, accounting, engineering firms out there where senior employees are shacking up with younger lower employees and interns...

as for his "issues"...i'd say you could be right, he probably has a few...and it goes back to the culture..l'm not a psychology expert but I would venture to guess that growing up in women's locker rooms his first crushes and fantasies were with players...also, though this is pure speculation, i would guess that he may have seen or at least known about relationships between players and coaches...as i said in previous post, I believe that this is more common than folks realize...

also, anyone who has been around women's athletics knows that there is a larger proportion of homosexuality in that field than most other fields...so the straight girl on the team sees a young baby faced male coach with a southern draw, famous last name...might be hard to resist...

If Pitino knocks one of his players up, I guarantee that tops it.

 

[ace on the river]

Didn't she get caught muff diving with some rich donor's wife?

 

[Ugoff]

Ha, good point.

 

[Ben101er]

Billy Gillispie comes to mind

No, you are way off. You would not believe the real reason. I wouldn't have believed it, if it hadn't come from someone in the athletic dept.

[Wall2Boogie]

What is it that makes some of these chicks want to play for the same team as us?

Bro if you don't know the answer to that by now, you may never know.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Bro if you don't know the answer to that by now, you may never know.

I was hoping for a really smartass answer lol. I needed a laugh rafters never disappoints

 

[UK90]

Gee, who could've imagined things could go awry from offering your head coaching job to a 23-year-old kid with virtually no experience solely because of his last name?

That's what amuses me. From the very beginning, this was an insanely stupid hire of a ridiculously unqualified person. And if the kid had any other last last name, people would've screamed that fact from the rooftops. But, in this case, NOBODY was brave enough to say it because there was so much sympathy and goodwill toward Pat Summitt at the time than nobody wanted to be perceived as the "bad guy" going negative about a Summitt family story.

But, NOW, that bad things have resulted? What a SHOCK! Yeah, what a shock that handing the keys to your entire W basketball program to a 23 year old heterosexual male still harboring a college kid's mentality and barely any experience went wrong! Who could've ever imagined a bad result from that hire?

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Yeah, I wish I could be given a gig based on my last name like him and Ricky jr. I'm sure the next thing will be, it was entrapment. Who wouldn't expect a 25yr old married and miserable head coach not want to add to his own personal roster? I think the red flags would of went up when this blonde follows him from Marquette to tenn. how would his wife not suspect anything?

 

[Macy's socks]

I'll be here all week.

Seriously though, it's all about the vag. We come out of it when we are born and spend our entire lives trying to get back into it. I can see why a select few females would feel the same. (Bull dykes excluded)

 

[UK90]

Yeah, I wish I could be given a gig based on my last name like him and Ricky jr.

As much as I enjoy Pitino-bashing, my honest instincts force me to say this kid's hire was NOTHING like Ricky Jr.

Hey, at least Ricky Jr. was first required to learn the craft as a longtime assistant at many different programs (Northeastern, Charleston, Duquesne, Louisville, Florida), and he was then required to first prove himself as an HC running a lower tier mid-major program (FIU). It was only then, AFTER he'd passed those tests, and well into his 30s, that he was finally given a top tier opportunity at Minnesota.

Whereas this Summitt kid was offered the HEAD coaching position at one of the sports traditionally greatest and most successful programs when he was only 23 YEARS OLD with nearly no experience.

It was insanely stupid hire from the very beginning. But, funny thing is nobody would dare say it back then because nobody wanted to be on record saying anything negative about the Summitt family. But ...ohh, we'll act shocked now..

 

[Wall2Boogie]

As much as I enjoy Pitino-bashing, my honest instincts force me to say this kid's hire was NOTHING like Ricky Jr. It was immeasurably worse.

I love how you put an emphasis on head lol. Something tells me that was part of summitts requirements before taking the gig lol. Too bad for him his wife was better looking. I'm guessing she didn't put out the effort like his team did.

Well at least Richard Pitino never impregnated one of his players that we know of... so he's got that going for him.

I can do you one better. Hugh Grant stepping out on Elizabeth Hurly.

Pitino could top it and knock it up if it was on the table in an italian restaurant.

 

[LouievileKat]

Not sure which is worse. Impregnating one of your players or stealing one of your players girlfriends

 

[Hjack]

Odds of a female basketball player being hot are not the greatest.

Particularly to a guy.

 

[Bank Cat]

I harken back to the olden days and think of Lea Wise of the UK Lady Kats. Looked like Charlie's Angel era Farrah Fawcett!

 

[LouievileKat]

I cant remember her name but I swear I remember there being a Hoops Cat that went on to become a model / actress / dancer that has appeared in several music videos.

may have already been mentioned here.

 

[Bluewest]

This is Napolean Dynamite right?

MCLOVIN?

Maybe he was having a threesome wife included and this is unexpected surprise? Wife could of been in on the action maybe she's bi...

No, not condoning only justifying. There are some lines you just don't cross. Coaches don't have a sexual relationship with players. Bosses don't have affairs with people they have supervisory power over. I have no idea if you're married or not. My vows included "forsaking all others." Mr. Summit is about to reap the whirlwind of his choices. As he should.

[lkc1234]

That's about as scandelous as it gets for a coach.

He must not have played men's college basketball. They always dribble before they shoot/

 

[fla.cat]

She has shoulders?

 

[BLUEHILLS]

If this is the player, I guess she was being sincere about transferring over off the court. Watch beginning around the 1:57 mark.....

[KingOfBBN]

It was such an idiotic idea to give a 23-year-old kid a head coaching job. That AD should lose their job for that alone.
