Again, just a guess.
Not perfect but I know it's happened to me. Not in a regional final but it has...

Thanks for posting the video JMF.
I've had it happen to me where I blew a whistle then immediately thought it should be a no call and I've even changed my mind as I blew my whistle. Don't think I've ever, or ever seen, an official so clearly going offense then changing it to a block. I easily understand how it happens just don't know that I've seen it. Much less on the stage of a regional final. But again, I definitely understand.
IMO looks like a no-call or offense. Not sure what the defender did illegal but also think the defender embellished the contact significantly.
I wonder what the NCAAW tournament assignor thinks of this and what was discussed subsequently.
