Congratulations to the winningest coach in college basketball, Coach Tara VanDerVeer of Stanford.
Today, she and her Cardinals achieved her 1,203th win to top Mike Krzyzewski’s previous record.
In typical Coach VanDerVeer manner, she talked about her athletes
Not dwelling on her feat, VanDerveer shifted the attention to the talents of her players and their competition.
“I just love how our team battled,” she said after the game. “How about Kiki?” she said, calling out Kiki Iriafen, who had just scored 36 points — a career high.
He took it to the next level and drew a design and taped it to his tee. He was so proud of his tee but, after lunch, the teacher noticed he was crying. He said some girls at the lunch table next to his made fun of his homemade tee.
