Summitt booked for Tonight Show

Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt will be a guest on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday.

Along with Summitt, the show’s lineup Monday will include Zach Braff, known primarily for his role as medical intern John "J.D." Dorian on the NBC sitcom "Scrubs." The musical guest will be Joss Stone, the British singer/songwriter who has sold more than 7.5 million albums worldwide.

Summitt guided the Lady Vols to a seventh national championship in basketball on April 3 with a 59-46 victory over Rutgers in Cleveland.

Given the show’s format, Summitt’s turn as the singing cheerleader during a break in a Tennessee men’s basketball home game against Florida Feb. 27 likely will be revisited. Summitt, along with her assistant coaches, appeared in cheerleading attire at that game and Summitt sang "Rocky Top."
