Stanford does not have a seat at the table among the selection committee, UConn and South Carolina do, which is another challenge that must be overcome in recruiting at this point.

The ESPN article states "The committee that selects the Olympic team is made up of five members: USA women's national team director Carol Callan, former Olympian and current Minnesota Lynx assistant Katie Smith, WNBA head of league operations Bethany Donaphin, Connecticut Sun coach Curt Miller and UConn coach Geno Auriemma, who coached the 2012 and 2016 Olympic teams."

As I count it, associations with Stanford: 1; associations with UConn: 1; associations with South Carolina: 0.   (You might give a partial association for the Connecticut Sun coach to UConn.)  Personally, I think the prior Olympic coach is a good choice to be on that committee.  (Anyone remember if Tara had such a position in 2000?)
