Coaching Style
Summitt is best known for giving her players an icy stare in response to poor play. However, by her own admission, she has mellowed considerably over the years. In 2007 she told U.S. News and World Report that she does not yell at her players nearly as much as she did earlier in her career. Tennessee at least twice asked Summitt to consider coaching the men's team, once before 1997 and again in 2001.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“The difference between style and taste is never easy to define, but style tends to be centered on the social, and taste upon the individual. Style then works along axes of similarity to identify group membership, to relate to the social order; taste works within style to differentiate and construct the individual. Style speaks about social factors such as class, age, and other more flexible, less definable social formations; taste talks of the individual inflection of the social.”
—John Fiske (b. 1939)
