5:02 pm
couldn't get on their own. i've wanted to be a coach that i would want to play for. it has been an honor and a pleasure to be part of these women's lives. my goal has been to be a teacher, mentor, confidant and eventually a lifetime friend for them. >> so what about the timing of her retirement coinciding with the demise of the pac 12 conference? >> i want to just say that it has nothing to do with going into the acc. i really that was a motivator to want to stay, to play that competition, because i think it's going to be a great, great league. clark oh my. from the future. >> largely thanks to her trailblazing the path, vanderveer leaves the game at its peak of popularity for the first time ever, the women's ncaa final had more viewers than the men's final and more than any nba finals game since 2018. >> it is so thrilling to see the support for women's basketball. you know, when i come in this

5:04 pm
funny story when she first started at stanford, her dad said she was leaving ohio state, which is, you know, kind of known as a juggernaut. and he said, you know, you'll be you'll be out of there after three months looking for a job. you guys can't you can't win. there three months. the academic standards are too high, and she said, well, let me give it a shot. and that's really what she, she's always been someone who cherishes the challenge. and i think for her coming to an institution like stanford and, and the where the academic standards are so high and still succeeding was really a badge of honor for her. yeah. such a high level. >> i mean, she said she likes the challenge. even she joked at the end saying she wants to study so she can be more competitive playing bridge with her mother at all the things that she's accomplished in her long career. what do you think rises to the top? what will people remember most about tara vanderveer? >> i think it was the way she treated people and still got the job done. you hear about coaches in all sports who maybe are prickly or not very nice or jerks. not her. i mean, i just remember as a producer, i used
5:05 pm
to set up a lot of interviews for, for, you know, for the person i was working for at the time. and she couldn't have been more gracious. remembers your name at that press conference today. she she acknowledged everybody in attendance, really, and thanked the media for being there and said that we're a big part of the rise of women's college basketball. so i think treating with people with respect the relationship she's built over the years and still winning at such a high level. i mean, the winningest coach in the history of college basketball, men or women, she's respected here in the bay area and no doubt respected all across the country. >> and the college basketball game, for sure. >> you can understand how it's emotional day for her. such a big decision, but such a an amazing time in her career to like i've done so much. >> it's a it's a great time. i mean she's going to step away. steve kerr actually addressed it last night and said he couldn't be happier for her. this is a special time in her life. >> it is all right, jason. thanks. thank you. well throughout her career, tara vanderveer hasn't only been just a coach as we were just talking

everything to fight for women and for women's basketball. >> vanderveer herself says coaching has always been about transformation on and off the court. >> as their coach, i have aspired to help each player get to a place they couldn't get on their own, and i don't think any of us will ever be able to thank her enough for how much she's given to each of us personally. >> jeanette pohlen played for vanderveer from 2007 to 2011. >> all of the championships, the success. but i think for her it's more than that. it's helping other other female, you know, coaches and athletes and just trying to raise that bar. >> and in vanderveer's 45 years as a head coach, the game has changed from small crowds and small budgets to the most recent women's final four that surpassed the men's in ratings. former player and current coach erica mccall credits vanderveer. >> women's basketball is on the map, and it's here to stay, and tara is a large part of that. >> now, vanderveer says she will continue to be on the stanford
