I am not trying to sound snarky but of course her entire body rotated around her left foot.

On the other hand, I think the better argument for a possible foul on W-54, is that by stepping toward the basket as she pivoted she changed direction and did not give the defender Time and Distance, but I personally think that is a stretch because the contact is simultaneous with W-54 starting her pivot.
