KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Pat Summitt filled Thompson-Boling Arena 376 times in her storied career as the head coach of the Lady Volunteers. Thursday night, the Tennessee family came together to fill the arena and sing "Rocky Top" one last time in honor of the legend who passed away on June 28, 2016.

A list of those that she impacted as much more than just a coach told stories and shared memories of Summitt with many of her familiar lines that ring true in the lives of everyone she touched.

Emcee Robin Roberts, who has previously credited Summitt's motto of "Right foot, left foot, breathe, repeat," for keeping her going during Roberts' battle with cancer, led an emotional ceremony held with Summitt's legendary orange stool front and center on the stage.
