Didn't realize the previous coach had left - only 12 days ago. Anybody know why she left?

Here's a hot take:

Rumors of an administrative review...?!  ???

The author is right--given the talent, Stanford did kind of underachieve for a bit.  Not sure if it was injuries or more...

{edit}: If you read the comments, it's rumored that Smyth didn't treat her athletes very well.  The comments also mentioned a podcast where it was said that the administrative review was a compliance issue.  Getting a young Stanford WGYM alumna like Tabzilla back in the fold is a solid move...hopefully Tabitha can make it happen as a coach where she succeeded as an athlete.
