Pat Summitt says in an affidavit that she initially believed she was forced to step down as the Lady Vols basketball coach after the 2011-12 season by Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart.
The affidavit was part of former Lady Vols media director Debby Jennings’ lawsuit against the University of Tennessee. In it, Summitt says Hart told her in March she would be replaced after the season.
Summitt says in the affidavit filed Wednesday in a Tennessee federal court that Hart later told her that she misinterpreted his comments from that conversation. Jennings’ lawsuit alleges that age and sex discrimination led to Jennings’ forced retirement.
University spokesperson Margie Nichols said last week it’s “absolutely not true” that Summitt was forced to step down. Summitt is currently Tennessee’s head coach emeritus.

An NHL lockout has forced the cancellation of regular-season hockey games for the second time in seven years.
The league on Thursday wiped out 82 games through October 24 – beginning with four on October 11, which would have been opening night.
The NHL and the union are unable to decide how to divide $3 billion in hockey-related revenues.
There have been negotiations in recent days, but the sides have not gotten any closer to an agreement on core economic issues.

The Coffee County Lady Raider volleyball traveled to Murfreesboro on Wednesday night for a match against Riverdale. The Lady Warriors defeated the Lady Raiders 25-21, 25-17 and 25-17. Coffee Co. 20-18 on the season will take on Warren Co. in the District 6-AAA tournament in Sparta on Monday night starting at 7pm on Thunder Radio.

Tennessee quarterback Jake Locker won’t play Sunday against the Vikings after suffering an injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder in Houston.
Matt Hasselbeck will get the start and Rusty Smith will back Hasselbeck up.
Locker dislocated his shoulder when sacked by Texans cornerback Glover Quinn early in last Sunday’s 38-14 loss.
He watched the rest of the game from the sidelines and had an MRI exam Monday.
The good news, according to Coach Mike Munchak, is Locker suffered no structural damage in the injury. When he might return is unclear.
Kick-off between the Titans (1-3) and the Vikings (3-1) is 3:25 p.m. Sunday in Minneapolis and you’ll hear it live on Thunder Radio.
