I received a rejection letter from Tennessee. Pat Summit could not use
my services for her basketball team. A team that went on to win
back-to-back-to-back National Championships during my time in college.
Oh well,
I decided to stay home and play for my hometown team, University of
Memphis. I got to play against Tennessee in Knoxville during my
sophomore year. I played 24 minutes. I finished with 8 points, 5
rebounds, 2 assists and I was 6 for 6 from the line. I even made
ESPN….for Chamique Holdsclaw blocking my shot!
During my junior year of high school, my dad hooked up 2 VCRs (video
cassette recorders) and made a highlight video of my basketball season. I
know I’m showing my age. I typed up letters, using a typewriter, and
sent the tapes out to several schools. Again I’m showing my age. “Do you
know what a typewriter is?”
Pat Summit sent my tape back along with a letter thanking me for my
interest in her program. Maybe because she rejected me, I always had a
desire to train or coach someone that got the opportunity to play for
her at Tennessee. Unfortunately, I will never get the chance to count
that as an accomplishment since she is no longer coaching. Well, it will
still be an accomplishment to assist a kid to Tennessee.
Before I started MemphisGirlsBasketball.com. I had
PatoshaJeffery.com. This was my first website. I created it in 2005. And
it didn’t have much to do with me. I did have an About Patosha Jeffery
page. However, the focus of the site was writing about the players in
Memphis. It was the hub for my AAU team, Mid-South Lady Tigers. I was
also providing information on how to get a basketball scholarship.
