WASHINGTON -- Tennessee's U.S. senators Wednesday sponsored a resolution to honor Lady Vols basketball coach Pat Summitt, who last month became the winningest coach in the NCAA.
Summitt won her 880th game on March 22, surpassing Dean Smith, former head coach of the University of North Carolina's men's basketball team, for the career wins record.
Her team was knocked out of this year's NCAA tournament in the semifinals.
The resolution, offered by Sen. Bill Frist and Sen. Lamar Alexandar, commends Summitt for "three decades of excellence as a proven leader, motivated teacher and established champion."
Her teams have won six national championships.
