CYO...,
I saw the play as well. However, I thought it was a case where, after picking up her dribble with one foot in the backcourt and the other clearly in the frontcourt, the player stepped with her front court foot into the back court, thus committing the over-and-back violation.
In any case, I completely agree that the commentators had quite a discussion about the issue, including a conversation that went something like this:
"Well, Lisa I'm pretty sure you have to have all three points over, both feet and the ball, in order to have a violation."
"Are you sure? I thought it was ball location. Here on the replay it clearly shows that while holding the ball she kept it in the backcourt."
The final comment on the situation was, "Well, I'm sure that's one the officials may want to review later."
Sheeesh! The over-and-back call was correct because the player was not dribbling. Therefore, no three point requirement.
