One nit to pick but I think it's curable.  If I'm scouting Stanford, and if my team is playing help D, I would point out that EVERY time Betts gets ready to shoot she puts the ball on the floor.  Even when she's three feet away on the low block.  Need some strong coaching on Stanford's part to take that tell away.  She can get away with that against creampuff opponents but top-level defenders will gladly take the extra half-second to get into position.

Totally agree.  Ask my husband, l yell the same thing all the time.  Don't put it on the floor!  I think it's a habit she's been able to get away with.  She doesn't need to do that, she needs to take lessons from Haley who seems to be able to cover 10 feet around the basket in two steps.
