STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Kate Paye spent nearly two decades as Stanford’s coach-in-waiting, her high energy and positive spirit shining through on the sidelines right next to Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerveer.
Now, it’s Paye’s turn at last. And while keeping to many of VanDerveer’s longstanding traditions, Paye has a chance to put her own mark on the storied program.
“She’s paid her dues. She’s had opportunities to be a head coach other places, and she has been incredibly loyal,” VanDerveer said. “I just cannot say enough good things about her.”
Paye is Stanford through and through — born at Stanford hospital and with her entire immediate family having attended the university. Her father and brother, both named John, played football for the Cardinal.
The 50-year-old Paye will be formally introduced as the new head coach Wednesday by athletic director Bernard Muir. When VanDerveer retired last week as the winningest NCAA coach of all time in men’s or women’s basketball and after 38 seasons at Stanford and 45 years in all, the school immediately announced it was in negotiations with Paye.
