Summitt to discuss future with Mystics, new owner

Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt said Wednesday that her future with the WNBA's Washington Mystics will depend on her discussions with the team's new owner, Sheila Johnson.

"It seems kind of open-ended,'' said Summitt, who has served as a consultant with the team for the past three years. "We haven't had any type of discussions. Obviously I have to have that.''

Summitt's contract with the Mystics runs through this season.

Johnson, co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, joined Lincoln Holdings LLC to purchase the Mystics from Abe Pollin's Washington Sports & Entertainment.
