In response to SecS3
ESPN had an article two week ago that looked at possible replacements for major programs when those coaches leave.
The Stanford section should be of interest to Princeton fans.

- Stanford's Tara VanDerveer
In the family: Kate Paye, Stanford associate head coach. At least as much as Notre Dame's Ivey and UConn's Ralph, Paye has looked like the heir apparent for a long time. Heck, in the 13 seasons Paye has been on the bench, Lindy La Rocque was recruited by Stanford, played for Stanford, coached at Stanford and took a head coaching job at UNLV. Paye had plenty of options, in other words. She chose to stay at the school where she also earned her law degree and MBA.
Outsider: Carla Berube, Princeton head coach. She will, of course, be a subject of conversation when her former coach eventually steps aside at UConn. But it's difficult to imagine that someone who was content enough at Division III Tufts to build a mini-dynasty and picked the Ivy League for her move to Division I will want any part of that particular spotlight. Succeeding VanDerveer is no less daunting, but Berube could take it on with the freedom of an outsider from the other side of the country. With a 542-105 record as a college player or head coach, mostly at elite academic schools, she would be a natural fit.
