Pat Summitt

Pat Summitt was the boss - her playbook was basically a masterclass in mind games. Fans? Obsessed. They'll break down her defensive strategies at a kid's birthday party. And don't get them started on her stare—that could freeze an espresso mid-pour. It's like every game was a chess match where she was twelve moves ahead. Choosing anyone else in the 'Greatest College Basketball Coaches of All Time' league feels like picking a squirt gun in a bazooka fight.
