Well this is shocking. Tara is retiring. I'm very surprised at the timing with how much she talked about looking forward to the ACC and she just finished year 2 of her 4 year contract.
Congrats to the GOAT. She will be missed. I'm almost at a loss for words.

I found this interesting

Negotiations are underway with Kate Paye, who played under VanDerveer from 1991-95 and has been a member of her staff for the past 17 seasons, to become VanDerveer's successor. Paye would become the program's fifth head coach beginning with the 2024-25 season.

you might think they would have had the succession plan all signed off before announcing Tara's retirement....
