Pat Summitt's Team Motto

Tennessee women's coach Pat Summitt on the Lady Vols' motto:

"Our little motto is 'Offense sells tickets, but defense wins games and rebounds win championships.' 

That’s the way we have really taught our philosophy to our young student-athletes.  If you are going to go on the road and be successful, you better play great defense and you better rebound, because shooting is sometimes off.  

Sometimes you’re on and sometimes you are struggling to make shots and the only way you can win in those circumstances is your defense and your rebounding, so we really emphasize those two."
