Carol Hutchins wins innagural Pat Summitt Award

Congrats Coach Hutch!

Awesome coach, Amazing person!

Great rep of the University, and a well-deserved honor.

One of the truly greats in UM coaching lore.

That is all.

a very well deserved award for one of the greatest coaches to ever coach at Michigan!

It feels like it should probably be called the "Carol Hutchins Award", right?

REALLY not trying to be "that guy," but it is spelled "inaugural."

It's my OCD kicking in. Please don't hurt me.

Coached by Hutch. They have pepper in their step. Good luck softballers in 2017 and beyond.

Well-deserved recognition for one of the all-time greats.  She's a virtual lock to become the first softball coach to hit 1,500 wins, as well, needing only 16 to get there.  Lots more fun in store for UM softball fans in the coming years!

It's crazy how many good, smart ball players she's produced. She takes super talented girls and turns them into super successful players. It's crazy how consistant her teams have been. While some of it is recruiting, it ain't like she's the only one getting top-notch talent. 

of her sport with many seasons of success winning a trophy with the name of another of the greatest coaches of her sport with many seasons of successes.  

Has a great symmetry to it.  Congrats Coach!

And I think it's very cool that she's the first recipient.

You don't get to see many of these in action.  She is a master of her craft, Congrats!
