Stanford women’s basketball head coach TARA VANDERVEER was named one of 12 finalists to be considered for election to the Basketball Hall of Fame, the Hall announced last Friday in Los Angeles. The Hall’s Class of 2011 will be announced April 4 at a news conference in Houston prior to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game.
“I am very honored and humbled to be among the 12 finalists for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame,” VanDerveer said following the announcement. “I am continually appreciative of the opportunities and support that I have received throughout my career from Stanford University, Ohio State University, the University of Idaho and USA Basketball. I am also grateful for the chances I’ve had to continue to work with amazing and wonderful student-athletes and players on both the collegiate and international levels, without whom I would not be in the position I am in today.”
