I have a question regarding the use of voice by the videographer. Is that you?

Based on an admittedly minuscule sample size, it looks like the caliber of play here is below average. When bodies are routinely on the floor and ballhandlers are routinely unable to deal with even the slightest duress, sometimes officials just call maintenance fouls to keep the temperature of the game below its boiling point.

Also, the officials in the first clip seem very inexperienced.

From a sheer black-and-white perspective, I can see where the officials are coming from, and I can also see where you're coming from.

Both plays look like fouls on #4 white to me. She is coming forward in both when contact occurs.
