One Victory Away from Surpassing Mike Krzyzewski's Record, VanDerveer Could Make History This Weekend
- Tara VanDerveer, Stanford's women's basketball coach, is on the verge of becoming the winningest coach in college basketball history, surpassing former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski's record of 1,202 wins.
- VanDerveer's potential record-breaking win could happen as soon as this weekend, with Stanford hosting games against Oregon and Oregon State.
- VanDerveer, who has been with Stanford since 1985, has led the team to three NCAA titles and 15 trips to the Final Four.
- Despite a recent loss to Colorado, VanDerveer remains one victory away from matching Krzyzewski's record.
