Looking back on his family's trip to Knoxville, Tyler Summitt wishes he had done it sooner.
The son of former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt hasn't brought his kids to his hometown often, or for very long. He and his wife, Brooke, took them to Summitt's statue last year, but it wasn't an extended trip.
It was something he put off for one reason or another — the kids were young, it's a trek from Ohio with three of them, and there are all of the emotions of going home.
This June, though, the Summitts took a six-day trip to Knoxville, which overlapped with former Lady Vols star Candace Parker's induction to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame on June 27. Their last day in town was June 28, which was the 10th anniversary of Pat Summitt's death.
"It just really felt like the stars aligned, it was meant to be," Summitt told Knox News. "It was like God had a plan for us to be there, and I'm so glad we did it."
