The current state of Stanford Women's Basketball really demonstrates what a great coach brings to a program. I cannot fathom this 9-6 record under Tara. Maybe she knew something was up last year and got out while the gettins' good.
We can speculate but can never know how different Stanford’s record would be if VanDerveer were still the head coach. The Cardinal had two exceptional AA’s last year in Brink and Iriafen plus outside threat Hannah Jump now all gone. This season’s roster has talent and potential - it could have and should have beat LSU in Baton Rouge - but lacks consistency and, it seems, a strong clear cut leader on the floor. Perhaps that leader is Agara? Here’s to hoping the team improves as conference season progresses.
Longer term can the new coaching staff land very top level prospects as they did previously when they got Brink, Haley Jones, Betts, Kiana Smith and the like?
