On the women's side, Stanford definitely qualifies as a legacy team - not so much because of the NBA, but because of the enduring leadership of Tara VanDerveer. "Currently in her 22nd year as the head coach of the Stanford women's basketball program, she owns a sparkling 537-133 (.801) record. During her tenure on The Farm, she has led the Cardinal to two NCAA Championships, five NCAA Final Four appearances, 15 Pac-10 titles and 19 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament." (Stanford Athletics). What a record, and what an impact on the sport. Go Stanford!!

They have been pretty good for a while, cornering the market on seven-foot twins.

Congrats on the big win yesterday, Jake! Maybe I'll adopt Stanford since I worked there on a project for Arthur Andersen once ... Me thinks I detect a Stanford alum???

Congrats on the big win yesterday, Jake! Maybe I’ll adopt Stanford since I worked there on a project for Arthur Andersen once …

Talent attracted by reputation still has to go to class and make grades. Then Stanford only qualifies as a legacy program in comparison to Cornell.

Amy's definition of "legacy program" = a team that consistently wins games and develops players that are drafted by the NBA, thereby attracting talent based on reputation.
