STANFORD, Calif. – The public celebration and official unveiling of Tara VanDerveer Court will occur at Stanford’s home game against Gonzaga on Sunday, Nov. 10. Tipoff is scheduled for noon PT on ESPN2.
In a move that underscores the indelible mark she left on the university and college athletics, Stanford Athletics announced in early May that the court at Maples Pavilion, on which her women's basketball teams won 531 games, would be named in honor of the recently-retired, NCAA’s all-time winningest coach.
In 45 years as a head coach at Idaho (1978-80), Ohio State (1980-85) and Stanford (1985-95, 1996-2024), VanDerveer amassed an NCAA-record 1,216 victories. In 38 seasons at Stanford, she led the Cardinal to three NCAA championships – 1990, 1992, and 2021 – and 14 Final Fours. She announced her retirement on Tuesday, April 9.
Tickets for the Gonzaga game start at $10 and are available for purchase by visiting tickets.gostanford.com or calling 800-STANFORD.
