KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Pat Summitt didn't bother to brush the glittering specks left by the orange and white streamers from her hair. Her voice wavered as she thanked her players, coaches, administrators and fans for all their support over the decades.

The coach known for her searing glare could only smile. She had reached 1,000 victories, an unprecedented height even she finds dizzying.

"Wow," the Tennessee coach said. "This may be a little hard for me."

Summitt became the first Division I basketball coach — men's or women's — to win 1,000 career games last night as her 12th-ranked Lady Vols beat Georgia, 73-43. It was their second chance in four days at giving their coach her latest and one of her greatest milestones.

And she's got a new contract to go along with it. School officials announced Summitt had signed a contract extension through 2014 earlier this week and earned a $200,000 bonus with this win.
