Tyler Summit new women's coach at Louisiana Tech

[coldweatherfan]

Just saw on ESPN that Louisianna Tech hired Pat Summit's 21 year old son, Tyler, as women's head Bball coach.

 

He's got good genes. They say he has a great Bball mind too.

I Love It!!! The only thing better would be for him to be good enough to deserve the UT job and then be successful there.

He will have players older than him

[NEERFAN]

He's actually 23 so he should be older than all of his roster. He takes over a program rich in tradition.

I was going by the 1st post. Still young to be coaching girls that he could be going out with

[coldweatherfan]

They said 21 on ESPN.

Whether his age is 21 or 23, I still think thats a bit young to get into the coaching business at the college level.

Agree

[TheDeuce]

That is ridiculously young. He will have players his age, that's a recipe for disaster, IMO.

[Big Slick]

Rooting for him, but can't see this working too well!

Not a good situation to be in with him being so young. What are his credentials for coaching other than his last name?

I think he was a GA at Marquette

[ESPNdeux]

Forget that level... That is is young to be a head coach at any level.... That's young for a youth league coach....

 

Good Luck to him. Will be interesting...

So, he goes from a GA to a head coach? I think it's ridiculous IMO

I couldn't agree more. Guys like Richard Pitino and the Sutton brothers all paid their dues and learned the craft. He better have someone older on his staff that can direct him.
