Summitt dons flat-top to promote Hopson dunk

Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt is working on a new talent: Impersonations.

Summitt donned a cardboard version of a flat-top fade hairdo - the same hairstyle worn by Volunteers junior guard Scotty Hopson - to imitate Hopson as part of a promotion for his entry in CBS's Dunk of the Year contest.

Hopson made the finals with his one-handed slam over the head of South Carolina guard Brian Richardson in a 73-67 win on Feb. 16.

In a YouTube video, Summitt tells fans she's Hopson and asks for their vote in the online contest.
