i believe the gesture you are referencing is celebratory, not mocking. it means look at that 3-point shot! or, more generally, look at that great play! steph curry uses it often.

thank you for mentioning tara not attending haley's draft night. isn't that on remembers-everyone's-birthday tara rather than on haley? i noticed that the video of the history of stanford's teams left out haley from the section on the recent national championship. is that on haley? tara assigned haley to run the point at least 50% of the time last year when we had no experienced point guard. that led to many critiques of haley. imo haley did what tara asked even though it ruined haley's game.
tara is now supportive of nil, but i recall her being cool and skeptical when nil was just starting out. haley made the first forays into nil, and i can easily imagine tara being critical at first.
blaming transfers out on haley? i don't think so! there was a logjam at the post - betts still wouldn't start at stanford this year. the higher-ranked indya nivar backed up lepolo.
blaming our poor play last year on haley? i don't think so! with the departure of kiana, anna wilson, and the hull twins, we had 5 top posts but no star point guard and no star wings.
p.s. thanks for posting haley's interview of lauren betts. they have a great time talking. both are exuberant and delightful. they clearly enjoy each other. betts calls haley a "10 out of 10" and references their close friendship over many years. betts says it was hard to leave stanford because she loved the players, but she had to because she "did not feel supported." given the context, she appears to be saying not supported by the staff.
haley is an unusual interviewer. she makes no attempt to be polished like ros and chiney. she is in the let-your-personality-show school, like richard sherman and charles Barkley - except playfully cheerful rather than playfully challenging. i like her style very much. it's a wonderful interview. i encourage everyone to watch.
Here's a long interview with Haley on the Knucklehead podcast.

A good portion of the interview is spent about her time at Stanford (around 8 minute to 22 minute mark in the video). She also has some good things to say about how Stanford prepared her to not waste her money towards the end of the interview.
They asked her what she purchased with her first check, a Louis Vitton bag? No, I invested it.
