Yeah, I saw this play too. Roy Gulbeyan called block and she was definitely set and took it in the chest. I saw Roy point at the floor after the call so I know he called it because of the restricted area. I was hoping the replay would show how far the player was in the restricted area, but the replay showed a behind the backboard look at the play from the chest up so I couldn't tell. The WNBA does tell its officials to call blocks if players are standing underneath the basket and there is a collision. However, what constitutes underneath the basket is different for everyone. I wish they would go ahead and just put a restricted area in for us to make it easier on us and more consistent for the players and coaches.
