I don't know how much credence I would give to the allegations of indifference on Venderveer's part. Sometimes player/coach relationships just don't work out the way either party thought they would.
Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that Betts eventually decided to take her talents to Westwood. I do think the article tried a little too hard to blame Stanford, and by extension Vanderveer, for Betts' relative lack of success there. And remember, at the time, Stanford was coming off successive Final Four appearances, including a National Championship. Their roster was stacked. Doesn't sound like a broken system to me.
