Nope. If she's committed the foul it's a done deal. Report the foul and let your partner inform her coach if need be. I'm not a black/white guy by any means because much of the game is played in a tricky area of gray. But there's no plea-bargaining in basketball. If you see it call it and go on. You have no control over consequences of a foul. Your responsibility is to call the game according to the rules without bias and with impartiality. If you're worried about a suspension then you cease to be impartial and unbiased. The players are responsible for their actions on the court, not us.
