Tara VanDerveer Game Quotations

It's so different when you are sitting there and watching her. You get a much better sense of her game and what she does. Being able to watch her was really helpful.

She is so funny. I wasn't watching the game as clear as I needed to when I was watching it with her so I told her in the second half I needed to go. She's a riot.

The athletic director job is so demanding and I think it's changed a lot over his 15 years, but he's done a great job. You have to bring your 'A' game to work every day, and I give him credit for saying it's time for a change. It's hard to walk away from Stanford. This is a wonderful place to be. I'm happy for him that he's able to transition into something he really enjoys doing. I hope I can do that.

We have played more games on the road ... we've had that experience already. We're ready to play, and we know we have to play well.

She's definitely getting more comfortable. There are certain games with Ros, where's she's two steps forward and one back. She'll have a fabulous game and you're hoping it's always going to be like that, but she's young.

She's stronger physically, she's healthy, she's rested, and she understands the pro game and how physical it is. And she seems happy, and that's really important.
