Agree. At the start of her drive to the basket, ball handler's pivot right heel appeared to move upward, but her toes appeared to stay on the floor.

Hard to get a clear look because the score graphic was partly in the way, but was just able to see enough to rule no travel.

I could understand how the right heel appearing to move upward could fool some officials to call a travel, especially if they weren't paying close attention to the pivot foot.

Just because something looks odd doesn't necessarily mean that's it's automatically illegal.

Didn't see anything at all that would raise my travel antennae.

Well honestly I am not sure there is a foul either, but certainly not a travel. The Lead has a much better look at the play than we do. Coming right to her. But not a travel.

Defender moved forward into the shooter's body (even kept moving forward after the initial illegal contact), no hand issues, just a body bump. Lead had a great look.

I can make a case she stayed in front of her. It was not a slam dunk foul for sure.

No travel...nice footwork and ball handling.

Two fouls.

1. armbar/handcheck that reroutes the dribbler as she's cutting across the top of the lane and trying to go to the basket. The defender is also stepping towards the dribbler so you could also call that a block. Either way, it knocks her off her path. If we're protecting freedom of movement, that should be called. We might be patient to see where it goes. If the shooter isn't able to turn the corner, I don't think you can pass on it.

2. The, on the far side, the dribbler got head and shoulders by, negating any LGP the defender may have had. The defender kept moving and was moving into contact with the shooter...the L had a perfect position to see it and made the call.
