Vanessa Nygaard is an interesting possibility. 
After her college and pro careers were over, she was an Assistant at Long Beach State, at Pepperdine, and for 2 WNBA teams before doing a terrific job as HC at Windward in LA this year.  But she does not help with diversity, and she might not want the the job if her family is comfortably settled where it is.

Two weeks before official practice started in November, L.A. Windward first-year girls’ basketball Coach Vanessa Nygaard gave birth to twins.

Talk about time-management issues.

Nygaard not only balanced being a new mother with her coaching duties, she managed to guide the Wildcats to 32 consecutive victories and a Southern Section Division 4AA championship.

Is Beth Burns a Stanford alum?

Milena Flores has been an assistant with Princeton and now with Yale.  She seems like a possibility.

In another five-10 years I would think Nneka would be a superb candidate for coaching, given her maturity and leadership skills.  But I think she has a few other things to do first.  I also wonder about Candice, although her career is still going and I wonder if she would be interested in coaching at some point.

I imagine one of the key factors will be to find someone who can talk to recruits and their families effectively about the program and the Stanford experience, as well as coaching during the season.  It will probably have to be someone who is particularly adept at helping to develop posts.
