It's not making up a call. It's the same concept behind calling a jump ball instead of a travel even though the defender didn't have their hand on the ball for more than a step.
She's
clearly swinging around wildly with her elbows. The official made a mistake letting it go, twice.
I have a violation and I'm calling it when she violates the swinging elbows rule.
I'm not sure why we're bringing assigners into this, but any decent assigner who also assigns me my 5a/collegiate is asking me why I'm letting a player at a low level swing around wildly and waiting for someone to get hurt to blow my whistle.
