Two things:
No requirement on which foot is on the bag. I know, I know...it's a fielding mechanics deal. But there's no rule that says she has to have a certain foot on the bag...just like no rule that coaches must have common sense.
And...
There's a reason for that running lane. This runner clearly had both feet inside the line (i.e. on the fair side of the line) the whole way.
BTW, I don't have a problem if you don't want to call INT, for INT is a judgement call.
