I'm more happy for Tara than anything.  If you started following this sport yesterday and you saw the video of Tara's press conference after the Colorado loss, that would be enough to see that we have an elite coach.  Perfectly measured response.  And now Tara has won three titles in two eras, and done it all with respect and class.  I attended a lot of MBB games when I was on campus, though never a WBB game.  Perhaps I should have.



We could use a lot more Tara VanDerveers in this world.  Not just in coaching.  In all positions of power.  As in, 100 of them, at least.

When I got to campus in 1993, we were the defending national champions, and over the years I was there, we had an elite and deep team (one that reminds me of this team), with Kate Starbird, Jamila Wideman, Charmin Smith, and Naomi Mouitaopele and Olympia Scott inside with Vanessa Nygaard and Kristin Folkl coming off the bench! It's hard to believe that after we fell to ODU in the National Semi-final in 1997, we would have a bit of a drought... and then that we wouldn't win a national title for 29 years after our last one.

So happy for Tara Vanderveer.
