LOOK: Nike Honors Tara VanDerveer With Custom Jacket After All-Time Win Record

Stanford's head coach became the winningest coach in college basketball history
In this story:

On Sunday, Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer officially clinched immortality as she surpassed former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski for the most college basketball wins of all time with 1,203.

Despite being without star forward Cameron Brink, Stanford went on to beat Oregon State by a score of 65-56. Junior forward Kiki Iriafen led the way with a career-high 36 points, in what will be a victory that is remembered forever. On top of having a post-game ceremony that saw legends such as Lisa Leslie, Billie Jean King, and Krzyzewski speak about and honor VanDerveer, the Stanford head coach was also honored with a one-of-one jacket by Nike.

The jacket was covered in tallies, one for every win she has accumulated throughout her historic career. She and Stanford will look to make a huge push and win what would be her fourth title as the head coach of Stanford.

The Cardinal are set to hit the road and take on Arizona State next.
