VanDerveer retires; Saller makes pizza; FLiCKS returns
Many a cheer for VanDerveer. After three NCAA titles, 14 Final Fours, and 38 seasons at Stanford, women’s basketball head coach Tara VanDerveer will retire on May 8. With 1,216 NCAA victories under her belt—more than any other college basketball coach—she played a key role as women’s basketball ascended in popularity. (This month, for the first time ever, the NCAA women’s championship game, between Iowa and South Carolina, drew more viewers than the men’s.) At a recent press conference, VanDerveer said that after contemplating retirement “at least 20 times in my mind,” she finally felt ready. Longtime associate head coach Kate Paye, ’95, JD/MBA ’03, who was part of VanDerveer’s 1992 championship squad, will take the helm of the women’s team. As for VanDerveer, she will still be involved with Stanford Athletics but in an advisory capacity. When you’re the coach, she said, “you’re on 24/7, and I’m ready for maybe just the seven, not the 24.”
