Tyler Summitt is a basketball coach and the son of legendary women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt.

On Thursday, five years after Tyler Summitt resigned in disgrace as head coach of the women’s basketball team at Louisiana Tech, he will be with the woman at the center of the scandal that brought him down.

Summitt was having an extramarital affair with the team’s starting point guard, Brooklyn Pumroy. Now they are married and live with their 2-year-old son, Breck, on the banks of Choctaw Lake in London, Ohio.

“I think we really just try to keep praying for forgiveness," Summitt told USA TODAY Sports. “We still feel the guilt."

Summitt, 30, got divorced from his first wife after the scandal broke in 2016. It was public humiliation for the only child of Pat Summitt, arguably the greatest coach in women’s college basketball history.

At Tennessee, Pat Summitt won eight national championships, with Tyler Summitt attending most of those title games. He also helped oversee his mother’s medical care after she was diagnosed in 2011 early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, which forced her to retire at 59.

She died about two months after Summitt resigned at Louisiana Tech.

“That year is just still a blur for me,’’ Summitt said. “I saw more than one therapist just to process what was going on, whether it was Louisiana Tech or Mom passing away.

“Even now I look back and there’s still emotions. So I don’t know if I’ve fully processed it.’’

He married Pumroy in 2018, the same year their son was born. Five years after his resignation, Summitt said, they will spend part of the evening as they have for the past few years.

Community News MANDEL: Aspiring rapper senselessly 'executed' in 2017 Scarborough shooting Twin Brother Malcolm Ellis, 25, of Toronto, was gunned down at a house on Blacktoft Dr. in Scarborough on Friday, Nov. 26, 2021

On a Sunday morning four years ago, aspiring rapper Malique “Lil Mell” Ellis was on his way to his Scarborough apartment laundry room with his girlfriend when he was ambushed and shot 15 times in the hallway.

He was just 21 when he was killed, another young Black male murder victim who hardly made the news.

“Mr. Mebratu was in the third-floor hallway of 3121 Eglinton Ave. E. with a loaded firearm waiting for Mr. Ellis to leave his apartment. When Mr. Ellis left his apartment, Mr. Mebratu implemented the plan to kill Mr. Ellis that brought him to the third-floor hallway.

“In all the circumstances, I find the shooting was predatory in nature. It was tantamount to an execution.”

And an efficient one, at that. Mebratu left his girlfriend’s Mississauga apartment at 9:30 a.m. and returned 90 minutes later. In that short time, he drove to Ellis`s building at Eglinton Ave. E. and Markham Rd., lay in wait for him to exit his apartment, killed him and then fled the scene.

And unbelievably, that mother’s pain has only doubled. Just last month, Malique’s twin brother Malcolm Ellis was gunned down in Scarborough as well.
