Separately from any possible issue with the coaches, I think a decision to forgo this season can't be questioned. There are so many things that could be going on in her life apart from basketball. I wish her well.
That said, unless "Stanford family" is a code word for coaches, I think the coaching staff is conspicuously missing. She had to discuss it with the coaches. She says she will support "them" (the teammates), rather than the team. She says she will miss the atmosphere that the teammates create.
There are 3 possibilities that I can believe:
1) She had issues with the coaches or they with her.
2) She was asked to leave the team, or there was a mutual agreement to that effect.
3) Her reasons for leaving have nothing to do with the team (injury, grades, romance, family issues, ...)
While she didn't close the door on playing in college in the future, she didn't mention it, but then she didn't mention life after graduation in any fashion.
