Louisiana Tech player Ashley Santos, left, tweeted a photo of her flat tummy on Saturday to prove she is not the player who was impregnated by former women’s basketball head coach Tyler Summitt.
Santos, 23, captioned her photo: “Rumors Squashed. Don’t talk about what you don’t know. #notprego #LetsMoveOn #LadyTechsterTerritory.”

Santos is one of 2 players who followed Summitt from Marquette to Louisiana Tech when he was hired as head coach 2 years ago. The other player is Brooklyn Pumroy, 22, who left the school after announcing earlier in the season she would forgo her last year of eligibility.
Summitt, who is married, resigned Thursday after admitting he had an inappropriate relationship with one of his players.
In a statement released to the media on Thursday, the disgraced former coach said, “I am profoundly disappointed in myself for engaging in a relationship that has negatively affected the people I love, respect and care about the most.”
Summitt, 25, is the son of former Tennessee Lady Vols women’s basketball head coach Pat Summitt, who retired in 2012 after she was diagnosed with alzheimer’s disease.
Santos’ father, Jose Santos, told USA Today Sports that the team was negatively affected by the favoritism Summitt showed toward Pumroy.
Ashley Santos addressed the issue in a meeting with assistant coaches.
“She presented to the coaches that some of the girls had confided in her that if things didn’t start to change, or some things weren’t addressed, they were not returning,’’ Jose Santos told USA TODAY Sports. “They didn’t like the environment at all and they talked about leaving and that’s a fact.
During the meeting, Ashley was assured that the situation would improve, according to Jose Santos.
“I know for sure that Ashley was told there would be adjustments made and it never happened,” he said.
“We just felt that at the very least there was some basketball favoritism going on,” Jose Santos said. “If you know basketball, you could just see it.”
Other parents said their daughters were frustrated that Pumroy received favoritism from the coach on and off the court.
Risha Moten, mother of Kevione Moten, said Brooke had the “green light” to do whatever she wanted.
“She could mess up a million times and (Summitt) wouldn’t take her out,’’ Risha Moten said.
Ashley’s mother said that Ashley hasn’t seen or spoken to Brooke since the scandal broke.
“She hasn’t seen her,” Lori Santos told USA Today. “She hasn’t spoken to her. Nothing.”
I miss having a stomach that flat.
so she aborted the baby???
Soooo the preggo is Pumroy?
They threw her out there by process of elimination.
Jose, not to be confused with Stevie J, talks too much about closed door business…but, thanks for the scoop. I can’t imagine these parents making statements like this about what their children told them. I just can’t. PR anyone?
Me too
Give us a ept. Your stomach can be still flat at 6 months.
Me three. Litterally…I was 3 last time my tummy was that flat? Once she took me off the tiit, I ballooned like a blow fish?
My daughter shole was.
Bwhahaha ???
Yes. Ashley inserted herself into the story. It’s common knowledge that the pregnant one is Pumroy.
My friend and I took a few girls to Cinderlla’s Closet today they give them a beautiful dress, shoes, purse and jewelry for prom for free. This was an awesome thing to witness. On topic: Nene had to Kim what I have to say on the subject and vice versa.
This isn’t shocking or surprising. Not really a scandal either. They’re the same age. The worst thing, bad thing, is that he was married. I don’t know why they would even hire him for that job. Maybe if his wife doesn’t have kids, he can leave her and start over with the pregnant chick.
I find him creepy looking.
Thanks for the Saturday post Sandra
?This dummy is pregnant by a married dummy SMH
Off Topic
SR! They arrested the “missing lady” in Mexico–The chick that set up/killed her ex-boyfriends new girlfriend-the Dental hygienist in Texas last year.
That’s a huge blessing! I’m sure the young ladies were excited!!! ??????
Same here AND THEN I woke up one morning with a “7mo pregnant” body ???
They’re probably thinking about it as he’s abused his position as a coach
Glad they caught the ex girlfriend lady killer( alledgedly)! I thought that was so sad that dentist was killed like that….
Pumroy is pregnant ( alledgedly) Santos isn’t…..Santos was clearing her name I guess since she and blondie followed him to Loisianna mane people were questioning her.
Mine isn’t that flat but when I lay on my back I feel like my stomach is flatter…. Until I roll to the side and gravity kicks in!!
That’s exactly what happened to me.
lol I am your inverse.
Me too ???
She might not be pregnant but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was one of them to mess with him. Bball girls like to compete…
Looks like an NBC teen movie story
Wow. I wish I could loose my whole stomach while I get a child.
Did almost everything, crunch, tummy diet, even colon hydrotherapy (who is successful but you have to change your whole diet)… I refuse to have a surgery..
How do women give birth and 2 months later, back to flat tummy?
Morning rose garden!
He and his wife don’t even have kids and this guy go get an outsider pregnant. I hope she divorce him
Lol girl yes I feel u
Chile….can you imagine that conversation when the Shyt hit the fan?
He got his ass beat I’m sure some furnitures got shifted up in that residence
Bwahahaha!
The looks on their faces priceless, they do it for everyone but for those who can’t afford these dresses it is a godsend as they had beautiful dresses.
She was small but I still noticed something was up small and all.
If you already small then you will probably snap back quick, breastfeeding helps, good genes, and light workout while you’re pregnant and dumb luck.?
???????
Get out of my head!
You are a day late.
Better late than never
????
?????? I love, love, love these emojis #random
I need to find the partner to make the baby first..lol
Notice how she states she’s not pregnant but didn’t deny sleeping with the creeper
????
A 25 year old head coach, coaching a bunch of 18-22 year old women?…
that’s just asking for trouble.
They asked his mom for a comment and she said “Tyler who???”
he must have been banging a few of them and based on their abilities in bed; playing time was dispersed…
