LAFAYETTE — Garry Brodhead is a product of his upbringing, so he couldn’t resist himself about a decade ago when legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt took a seat within arm’s reach at a recruiting event.
“I had just started coaching in college, I came from Teurlings and I was at McNeese,” Brodhead said. “I was in Atlanta recruiting. She happened to sit right by me, and you know me, I’m a Cajun. ‘Hey Pat, how are you doing?’”
It was what happened next that stuck with Brodhead, when Summitt turned to face him and struck a conversation.
