In a Monday photo provided by the University of Tennessee, Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt sits next to her son, Tyler Summitt, at her Knoxville, Tenn., home. Summitt plans to coach "as long as the good Lord is willing" despite recently being diagnosed with early onset dementia.
In a statement from Summitt released by the university on Tuesday, the Hall of Fame coach said she visited with doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., after the 2010-11 basketball season ended and was diagnosed with early onset dementia -- Alzheimer's type -- over the summer.
