Stanford coach receives new 3-year deal

Tara VanDerveer has signed a three-year contract extension that takes the Hall of Fame Stanford coach through the 2019-20 season.

She discussed her new deal — not formally announced by VanDerveer the school

and reached in July — over lunch during Pac-12 media day Wednesday.

In February, VanDerveer became just the third Division I coach to reach 1,000 wins , joining the late Pat Summitt as the only women’s coaches in the elite club along with Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski.

The 64-year-old VanDerveer still loves the daily grind of coaching and the new challenges each roster and season present.

Her Cardinal reached the Final Four last season.
