College: Vols' coach Summitt released from hospital
Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee coach Pat Summitt was released from a hospital today after being treated for dehydration."She is at home and will be resuming normal activities immediately," Lady Vols spokeswoman Debby Jennings said.
There was hardly enough time for well-wishers to send flowers. "Exactly," Jennings said.
The 55-year-old Summitt, who won her seventh NCAA championship this past season, had a dizzy spell and fainted at her home yesterday.
She was taken to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment for dehydration and spent the night for observation. Jennings said running several summer basketball camps in gyms without air-conditioning probably contributed to Summitt's collapse.
Summitt is the winningest basketball coach in NCAA history with 947 victories.
