If you have a patient whistle and try to see how it develops you might be able to wait until the act of shooting for a common foul anyway, but she actually stops doing it before the act of shooting starts. You also run the risk of her needing to foul harder to get the call.
I think the official on the floor gave her as much rope as he felt like he could but when she let her go to take the layup whether he thought she'd had jersey or just felt like he had to have something because the whole gym saw her trying to foul his hands were tied.

How is she going to foul harder? She reaches in this manner cause the player with the ball is getting away from her?
Maybe the other player would foul her, sure, but that's not really my problem here.
(BTW, I think those that intentionally call girls games in a different manner than boys games are doing the girls a disservice.)
