Yes, Dev is playing at a high level, plays a well rounded game, can hit 3's, good going to the hoop, great rebounder and defends well.  April found her stroke in 3rd and 4th an Lass with some big hoops, inside and out.  First half was spotty, and have to collect those free ones at the line a bit better, but great 3rd and 4th Qtrs.  They are a well-coached team that plays under control with poise.  A pleasure to watch.

Good post, Kurt.  

Thought I'd add two cents to the mix.  Burt is an inside-out strategist.  Suzie is just the opposite. Watching yesterdays game with Bruce Atkins and discussing the pros and cons of what transpired through the game accentuated the results a well coached team can do.  

Both Amadea and Kadri have exceptional "big" player skills for inside players.  Both can hit from the 10-15 jumper range from the baseline to the elbow.  Both can use left or right hands to score.  Both get up and down the court.  Both use their legs exceptionally well  for positioning themselves on O or D.  They have been taught very well.  I might add that the same is true to a lesser degree in Angela and Breanna.

As to the 1,2 and 3 spots, the first thing they all looked for was the "bigs" either on the elbows or down on the blocks.  Even when seemingly dribbling to no end they all still focused on getting the ball inside.  They too are well coached and execute well.  The team results reflect their overall mindset-coaches to players.  

I might add that in their execution of the inside-out stargegy the three-ball seems to be the preferred shot.  All the team seemingly takes the first open shot, Kadri and Aamadea included, that more often than not ends up being a three!
