That's it. Hell has frozen over. Pigs have gone airborne. The moon is Connecticut Husky blue.
Pat Summitt has voted for sworn enemy Geno Auriemma as Coach of the Year. Nancy Lieberman made the revelation Sunday night during Tennessee's Sweet 16 win over Notre Dame.
There's no question that Auriemma is a heckuva coach. He might have done his best coaching job yet this season, compiling a 35-1 season and landing the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament after losing two starters for the season with ACL injuries. And he was rewarded with his fourth selection as WBCA coach of the year last week.
But for Summitt to vote for Auriemma, the man against whom she's appeared to have declared a silent war, is historic.
Maybe that run-in with the raccoon on her porch did more than separate her shoulder. Perhaps it separated her from whatever has been clouding her senses since last summer. That's when she discontinued the long-standing season matchup between the two premier basketball powers, her Tennessee Vols and Auriemma's UConn Huskies. She's not publicly stated her 
reasons, other than to say Auriemma knows why. Tennessee and the SEC have filed grievances against UConn alleging recruiting violations.
Auriemma has urged Summitt to simply state the reason for their animosity: "She just hates my guts."
That might be. But the winner of 980 games, including 101 NCAA tournament games and 7 national championships knows good coaching and can swallow her pride long enough to check the box next to Auriemma's name.
Oh, to be a fly on the scorer's table if the two cross paths on the sideline for the Final Four.
