this would be my explanation though: The ball was stolen w/about 7 secs left (not sure exact time). Tenn had a fast break and the Baylor player was closely behind. I hustled down court to ge the best angle to make a call on the layin. Baylor took a swipe and missed. Tenn tried a tip in and missed. The Baylor player is OOB next to the lead. She then see the ball coming off and darts back inbounds for the rebound hitting the Tenn player and knocking her down.
I know that the time was running out but I have no idea if there is 2 sec or .2 on the clock as it was so quick. I saw a foul and I called it. I got together with my crew reviewed the tape and the foul occured before time expired. So we have no choice but to shoot the FT.
Tenn wins.

Very good until the last full sentence.
My understanding is that the officials can't go to the replay to determine IF a foul occurred before time expired, but their purpose was to determine how much time should be put back on the clock, if any. My understanding is that if on the tape they had seen the foul after time expired, there would still be (up to) two free throw attempts, with the lane cleared.
