Adam, I'm not sure what you are asking ("which is it?"). There are 5 Baylor players huddled with the coach. There are 4 Louisville players lined up in lane spaces. There is one Louisville player outside the 3-point line, out toward half-court. I never suggested that there were four players huddled with the coach....
As for what to do? I don't know. I thought people here might have some insight as to the right way to handle it. On the one hand, I don't think you can do much other than what she did (step toward the huddle and tweet); a T under those circumstances might be overly officious. On the other hand, to let the whole team huddle (including the shooter) while everyone else is ready to resume play is giving an unfair advantage to Baylor which, as I mentioned, had no time outs left at that point. But the graciousness of the officials toward Baylor was not something Coach Mulkey emphasized in her post-game press conference....
