“I was introduced as, ‘This is not about bronze, this is not about silver, this is about gold,’” Tara VanDerveer, head coach of the 1996 U.S.
Jocular appearances on “ Live with Regis and Kathie Lee” and “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Ubiquitous magazine covers.Īnd everywhere they went, the message was the same: “Bring back gold.” Shooting hoops with Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court Building’s court. It was all there, up on the screen, a scrapbook of the 1990s replayed on a 30-by-64 foot stage.
