So I'll speak for the women's side...we may not get everything (no one does) but we'll get it more often than some might think. Reason? Women react differently to it than men and I've had female players - former and current - and assignors tell me the same thing. Guys get into each other's faces, talk for a little then it's over. Women hold a grudge. You never know when the retaliation is coming, but it is.
Back to the Schimmel/Griner situation: Among the notes NCAAW received from Debbie Williamson this season was one concerning sportsmanship, complete with video. It sits on Arbiter for all of us to see. That's why I was surprised Schimmel didn't catch a T for yapping at Griner after the +1.
I've also gone back and watched the first half of the game but this time with the sound up. At the second media time out (11:19 1st) the analyst said the alternate called the entire crew over to talk about what was happening on the court and heading into the time out there was yapping between four players (two each side) as they went to their benches. Alternates do a number of things during a game but I don't recall them ever calling a huddle in a non-review situation. I'd bet any amount of $ a call came down from on high to get things cleaned up.
