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.

I didn't see the play but if you make the call you're describing, the commentators would be talking about you.
If she steps with her foot in the frontcourt back into the backcourt, we have nothing because she is still simply in the backcourt. However, if she lifts her foot in the backcourt (while her other foot is in the front court) and sets it back down in the backcourt, then we have an over and back violation. Be aware of the difference because when it happens on the court, we don't want to have to think about it too long. I missed this call a couple of weeks ago in a game.
