Kate Paye played for and now coaches side-by-side with one of the most legendary women's college basketball coaches in history, Tara VanDerveer. Kate walked-on at Stanford in 1992, after turning down several scholarship offers as well as several Ivy League Schools. And as a freshman, she was a part of the 1992 National Championship team. 

She has her law degree but opted to go into coaching instead, inspired by her big brother who coached her in high school. Together, they brought home three state championships before she went on to star for the Cardinal in Palo Alto. 

Her brother coincidentally was a three-sports star in high school himself (baseball, basketball, and football) and played both football and basketball at Stanford himself. 

Her other sister, mother and father also attended Stanford. Kate was born at Stanford University Hospital as was Kate's two kids. It was just meant to be. Will she be the next Stanford Coach? Time will tell. But for now, she's very happy continuing to learn and be a part of magic every day, working side-by-side to a legend.   

We delve into a number of topics from her upbringing to her time in the ABL and the WNBA to coaching. And you don't want to miss what her favorite cup of java is. 

It was truly an honor to have Kate on the show during our 50th Anniversary of Title IX Celebration Series.
