First, I believe I have no foul on either play... but that's not the question.
Second - play 1 was similar to the one we were discussing a few weeks ago... if the official felt she was shooting when he called the foul, the fact that she didn't shoot after the foul should be irrelevant --- that said, I think he missed it. But I can see why he did, at least.
Play 2 is harder to say. Since I see no foul anyway, I truly have no idea when (with his better angle than us) he saw the foul or even who he called it on. Based on the video alone, he appears to have called a defensive foul on the offensive player ... so who knows. If the foul was on the first defender and not at the very last instant, no shot. If the foul was on the 2nd, clearly she was shooting.
