In honor of the legendary Coach Pat Summitt’s birthday yesterday, I wanted to share one of my favorite little known Pat stories.
I was fresh out of the @LadyVol_Hoops Athletic Department, working for @Converse up in Boston when Pat won her first National Championship in ‘87.
Pat says, “oh Bass, I meant to ask you to split this up, $2,500 to DeMoss (Mickie) and $2,500 to Holly (Warlick). But hey, they’re paying the taxes, not me.” This left quite the impression. Just one more in a long line of Pat Summitt lessons, if you were paying enough attention.
Seeing @mirandalambert on @GMA with her mama for Mother's Day reminded me of one of my most prized possessions - a signed picture of the house that built me in Hartsville, SC. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers, love and miss you Hyldabelle ♥️
Congrats @NikkiMccray15 new Head Coach @HailStateWBK!
Welcome to the 3 Stripe Family!!! Have loved her for a long time! Excited to work together again. So proud!
(Had to dust this Twitter thing off...)

Happy Father’s Day to all those loved ones here and in Heaven. My daddy BIG Bob Bass in the middle holding me @ the beach. Of course I’m the one in his arms with curly hair. 😍
My dad (with glasses on right) when he was mayor of our beloved Hartsville, SC. With the great Gamecocks coach Frank Mcguire. Also my great friend Holly Saleeby Atkins’ dad, Senator Edward Saleeby. Great fathers, leaders and friends to all.
