I can't see cleanup fouls here. Green #21 came out swinging (her body, at least) from the moment she grabbed the rebound. If there was a whistle against either player in White closest to the BH/D, that's not fair to either of them.

I'm in no way advocating quick held ball calls to prevent rough play. I'm trying to point out the rough play is already occurring in this play. There's nothing to prevent, but there is something to stop.

If there's something to stop then stop it according to what happened. Your 2nd and 3rd options shouldn't even be on the menu. Green #21 was swinging her elbows. That's a violation. If that isn't called, get the foul - IF or FF - once contact takes place.
