Surprised that no one has yet commented on a few aspects of this play.
1. The crew is rotating. The C is becoming the new T and the Lead has just come strong-side.
So who has a good angle? I believe that the new T picks a poor spot to stand from which to officiate this double team. She get straight lined. The Lead actually has an open look as can be seen in the video. Would have taken guts to come get this from that distance, but would have been a crew saver. Don't think that the new C has any look to help.
2. By not blowing the whistle either for a foul or after to stop play with an injured player down (this definitely should have been done) allowed UConn a 5 v 4 "power play". They scored a basket, then play was stopped for the review. Unfortunately, the rules don't permit this basket to be cancelled when the monitor review shows that an FF1 or FF2 occurred. That is an injustice.
