Summary:
An announcement came last summer that Summitt had early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Her assistant noticed that she was hesitant, confused, and forgetful a lot of the time the year before and was curious about what was going on.

Significance:
This coach, who won eight national titles has an issue that they have to deal with. It is important to note this because they have to change around coaching orders and give her less responsibilities. They help her out when they can but in all honesty they decide to take over many of her roles on the team.

Question:
How long will Summit be part of the team for while in this condition?

Alternate Heading:
Summit is Starting to Forget Her Place on the Team.
