  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Tara VanDerveer has set an all-time record for most coaching wins in the history of college basketball — men's or women's. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that she has surpassed Mike Krzyzewski's record, which is not true. VanDerveer got her 1,203rd victory on Sunday in a game Stanford hosted against Oregon State at Maples Pavilion — passing former Duke men's coach Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski. This means that VanDerveer tied the most-wins record, not surpassed it. Secondly, the article quotes Tara VanDerveer saying that she shifted her attention to the talents of her players and their competition after getting her 1,203rd victory on Sunday in a game Stanford hosted against Oregon State at Maples Pavilion — passing former Duke men's coach Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski. However, this statement is misleading because VanDerveer did not say anything about shifting her attention to the talents of her players and their competition in the article. The only thing she said was that she shifted the attention from herself to her team after getting 1,203rd victory on Sunday in a game Stanford hosted against Oregon State at Maples Pavilion — passing former Duke men's coach Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski. Thirdly, the article states that VanDerveer has led the Cardinal to three NCAA titles and 25 conference regular-season titles. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that she was solely responsible for leading Stanford to these achievements when in fact there were many other players and coaches who contributed to their success.
