Stanford's Tara VanDerveer has retired from coaching after 38 years at the Cardinal helm and will depart the sport as the winningest coach in NCAA basketball history.
VanDerveer's NCAA-record 1,216 victories also includes seven years as a head coach at Idaho and Ohio State.
The 70-year-old VanDerveer led Stanford to three NCAA Championships in 1990, 1992, and 2021.
She is slated to be replaced by Kate Paye, a former player and longtime Cardinal assistant coach as the program switches to the Atlantic Coast Conference.
VanDerveer did have a one season break from coaching Stanford in 1995 to coach the US women's basketball team in the 1996 Olympic Games.
