Unsurprisingly, her prepared remarks were pitch perfect and hit all the right notes, mostly gratitude to many different constituencies, led (of course) by the women who suited up for Stanford.
Thought I detected a choke-up (briefly) here and there, particularly when talking about players and former players; but overall, coach was composed and graceful and carried herself with dignity and professionalism. Again, not surprising.
Last comment: Tara is an example of treating people right and having it all circle back. The Q&A post-prepared statement were laced with gratitude, admiration, and love (not to get too sappy).
Thanks for everything, coach; and best of luck.
P.S. Tara talked about Kiki as if she would be here next year. Here's hoping that plays out like that.
P..P.S. Would love a report on Banquet (and am kicking myself for not RSVPing yes). Oh well . . .
