After 38 years, Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer announced her retirement on Tuesday. VanDerveer is the winningest coach in NCAA history, earning 1,216 victories along the way. Her list of accomplishments goes on and on but now, VanDerveer is stepping away.<\/p>\n
\u201cBasketball 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,\u201d VanDerveer said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019ve been spoiled to coach the best and brightest at one of the world\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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. Winning was a byproduct. I\u2019ve loved the game of basketball since I was a little girl, and it has given me so much throughout my life. I hope I\u2019ve been able to give at least a little bit back.\u201d<\/p>\n
