In honor of Pat Summitt, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has ordered flags at the State Capitol and state office buildings to be flown at half-staff.
Governor Haslam gave the order Tuesday afternoon after her death earlier that morning. The flags would remain at half-staff until sunset Thursday.

Born in Clarksville in 1952, Coach Summitt was a staple to the state.
Her family moved to Henrietta when she was in high school because Clarksville did not have a girls’ basketball team.
