She spent most of her time in the tobacco fields, long days tending them under the eye of an unyielding father who demanded excellence from his children in all things. She won an Olympic gold medal and at twenty-two years of age became head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols. Over the next four decades she established Tennessee as the most elite, iconic team in the country and won more games than anyone in the NCAA Division I history.
