Is white #4 your kid? I can just smell the bias.
White #4 has an obvious block/forearm.
White #34 could've been called for a foul.
NOW we get to the actual call, where the official may have thought to himself *Well, shoot, I should've had those fouls on white but I let them go thinking she could play through it*
Few probabilities:
1) Official was looking for a reason to give it to red after swallowing his whistle. From the looks of this play and and foul count they probably let too much go. He let too much go and tried to remedy it.
2) Live, it may have looked like she was already falling and red didn't actually push her. Doesn't even look like much of a push in slow motion, though this could've easily been called offensive.
3) Watch his head, doesn't even look like he ever glances at red to replay what just happened in his head. Could've easily just missed it -- we're not perfect.
I'm not saying any of these are good excuses or the correct way to look at the play. This just isn't that big of a deal and it was a messy play. After you let the initial foul go on white #4 it was ugly.
