Stanford's Tara VanDerveer Announces Retirement; WCBB HC Had NCAA-Record 1,216 Wins

Legendary Stanford women's head basketball coach Tara VanDerveer is retiring after 38 seasons with the program, she announced Tuesday.

"Basketball is the greatest group project there is and I am so incredibly thankful for every person who has supported me and our teams throughout my coaching career," said VanDerveer. "I've been spoiled to coach the best and brightest at one of the world's foremost institutions for nearly four decades. Coupled with my time at Ohio State and Idaho, and as head coach of the United States National Team, it has been an unforgettable ride. The joy for me was in the journey of each season, seeing a group of young women work hard for each other and form an unbreakable bond.
