FACT: My coach is a better water skier than your coach
HOF @StanfordWBB coach Tara VanDerveer was kind enough to share and let me post video of her waterskiing - “one ski?” I asked. “Of course,” she said. - this summer on Minnesota’s Lake Fourteen. “It keeps me fresh,” she said @pac12 media day.

A true warrior. I’m so sad. #LoyaltyAndRespect
On Saturday evening, the Pepperdine women's basketball team lost a member of our family, Daphanie Kennedy. Daphanie played from 2005-2008 and was a two-time WCC All-Conference selection. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kennedy family during this difficult time.
