It’s been almost 10 now when Kaye turned down usc and Washington and we all (who care)knew Kate who almost certainly would succeed Tara. 
Or I know some wanted a current head coach hired like Harris Hasse or Taylor

So, Bob, your point is what exactly?

I'm not sure how we could have hired someone other than KP, given her tenure sitting next to TV for all those glory years.  By all rights, she should be a good WBB coach for Stanford.  It's not looking that way.

You wrote that you're not sure how Stanford could have hired someone other than KP, given her tenure. Well, an associate head coach with years sitting next to the head coach doesn't have a right to be given the job, and, empirically, not all head coaches are named head coach when the former head steps down. Perhaps you mean that we couldn't have hired anyone else without it being perceived as a slight. That may be so. But I'm having trouble seeing how designating the associate head coach to be the successor without a serious search is the best thing to do for the team or the school all things considered. (Obviously it could have turned out that the associate head coach emerged from the search as the strongest candidate.)
