What an incredible career she’s had. Thank you, Tara!

This has to be due to the PAC 12 dying. Why would she want to go through the ACC lunacy?

Called it a couple of months ago. She’s ready.

Outstanding coach who represented the game well. Best wishes to her.

Exactly; the travel schedule will be brutal.

Wow. Thought for sure she’d outlast Geno.

A class act. Superlative coach who gave me heartburn on more than one occasion. She’ll will be missed, but what a legacy. Best of luck to Coach Paye. Off to the ACC we go…

Recently saw the Olympic team doc from when she coached. Amazing stuff.

...and how many of us immediately looked up Stanford's recruit list for the next two years?

 

[stwainfan]

One of the best ever.

I saw the ESPN scroll last night. Definitely shocked but loved the way she went about her retirement. She pulled a Tim Duncan. Mad respect for Tara and what she has accomplished. Class act and I am wishing her all the best. Thank you, Coach VanDerveer.

With this announcement, Tara really said, "I'm TIIIIIIIIDE (tired)! Let the young ones navigate this NIL/transfer portal/conference realignment nonsense! BYE!"

Congrats to a coaching legend on a magnificent career!
