March is the best month for college basketball fans, and it got even better Thursday with the news that a Pat Summitt documentary would be released March 25.

Good Morning America, hosted by Robin Roberts, a longtime friend of the iconic Lady Vols basketball coach, announced the news and aired a trailer that can be watched below.

The trailer and GMA segment also can be watched HERE. The ending is gut-wrenching in the literal and ironic sense of her words. Wait out the ad and watch it.

“We wish we had more time with Pat,” Roberts said after the trailer ended. “In June will mark 10 years since her passing … and March is Women’s History Month and it’s March Madness, and we thought it was the perfect time to really give her her flowers. What we’re seeing right now in women’s sports, she was a cornerstone in building that.”

“Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story” is produced by Rock’n Robin Productions, Trilogy Films and Tribeca Studios for ABC News Studios and directed by Dawn Porter, the founder of Trilogy Films. Porter was awarded the National Arts and Humanities Medal in 2024, the highest honors officially given by the United States to artists, scholars and patrons for excellence in their fields that is presented by the president. Clare Smith Marash produced the biopic for Trilogy Films.

“I am grateful to Rock’n Robin Productions, Trilogy Films, Tribeca Studios and ABC News Studios for making this happen,” said Tyler Summitt, the son of Pat Summitt. “Robin was one of my mom’s closest friends, and there is nobody my family trusts more to lead this project.”

The documentary will debut Wednesday, March 25, on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers and Sunday, March 29, on ESPN2 and Sunday, April 5 on ESPN.

“We want to make sure folks see this on all these platforms,” Roberts said.

The footage includes rare interviews with Summitt, as well as appearances by Mickie DeMoss, Holly Warlick, Billie Jean King, Peyton Manning, Dawn Staley, Tamika Catchings and others.

“Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story” promises the “intimacy of a biopic built on never-before-seen archival footage and set against the world of sports, the film profiles the extraordinary women’s college basketball coach who forever changed the game, and whose boundary-breaking career impacted far beyond the court.”

BASKETBALL

The current Tennessee basketball team met Thursday with the media the day before opening NCAA tourney play in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Tip time for tonight, March 20, is 8 p.m. Eastern with the broadcast on ESPN. The Lady Vols will either end a seven-game losing streak or end the season.

Kim Caldwell was asked during her time on the dais: What’s it like to be the head coach at Tennessee, so much opportunity and yet maybe pressure?

Caldwell provided an expansive answer that can be read below to close this column with the transcript in its entirety HERE. The full presser with Caldwell, Nya Robertson and Janiah Barker also can be watched HERE.

“It’s incredible for so many reasons,” Caldwell said. “There’s so much history around you, and you see it every single day and you get to be thankful for it every single day. We have a great administration. Our players are very spoiled. Our coaching staff is very spoiled. The way we do things is first class, it’s high class. It’s really remarkable at how quickly anyone can get spoiled and used to it.

“Because I came from Division II where we didn’t even give our players a water bottle after a game, it was, fill up your Gatorade out of the Gatorade from the game. And now we’re spoiled and we travel well and we’re treated well and we eat well. There’s so much history and we’re trying to build it to a place that’s bigger than ourselves.

“It’s about Tennessee and it’s about our fan base and it’s about our history, and we really want to make it about that. I don’t know that we’ve done a great job so far this season, but there’s still some season left for us to do that.”

Maria M. Cornelius, a senior writer/editor at MoxCar Marketing + Communications since 2013, started her journalism career at the Knoxville News Sentinel and began writing about the Lady Vols in 1998. In 2016, she published her first book, “The Final Season: The Perseverance of Pat Summitt,” through The University of Tennessee Press and a 10th anniversary edition will be released June 16, 2026.
