There have been a lot of Vanderveer coaches on the tree, but I don't think any of them have had this much success this quickly. How many head coaches can we think of that played or coached for Tara?
Bobby Kelsey
Lindy La Rocque
Molly Goodenbour
Jennifer Azzi
Charmin Smith
Dawn Staley
Charli Turner Thorne
I thought I remember that June Daugherty coached with Tara at one point. It is before the Stanford history records that are publicly available are kept, though. How about others that I missed?
Yes on June D.
A few others come to mind:
-Jamie Carey (Texas)
-Markisha Coleman (M-A HS)
-Milena Flores (Princeton)
-Tia Jackson (Miami)
-Karen Middleton (CSF)
-Melanie Murphy (Sacred Heart prep)
-Trina Patterson (Old Dominion)
-Julie Plank (WNBA)
-Nicole Powell (GCU)
-Kary Steding (Boston)
They came to mind after reading:
