I don't believe Tara ever had a male assistant coach at Stanford (correct me if I'm wrong). If Tara is on the search committee to find a new coach she will guide it in the direction of a female coach.
I don't have strong feelings about WBB. If there is a coaching change I would like the HC to bring in a complete new staff and start fresh.
I took a shot at finding Stanford's hiring policy and came up with:
"1.7.4 Equal Employment Opportunity, Non-Discrimination, and Affirmative Action Policy
2. Protection against Discrimination
(a) Stanford University does not discriminate on the basis of race,..., gender,..." (The list is much longer than I saw when I looked it up years ago.)
Also, I personally, would prefer hiring the best coach, instead of the best female coach, for any coaching position.
