KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Hall of Fame former University of Tennessee women's basketball Coach Pat Summitt said she felt forced out after being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's.
Summitt, who announced her retirement as head coach in April, eight months after announcing her diagnosis, filed an affidavit in conjunction with a lawsuit filed against the school by former media director Debby Jennings, saying the decision to end her career was not her own, CNN reported Friday.
