Swoopes contends that were she in the NBA, officials wouldn't be so hesitant to blow their whistles.

"I think it's very frustrating. I don't think that's something that would happen in the NBA," she said. "I think when you have veteran players, especially when you're going up against a rookie or a player who hasn't been in the league that much, usually the call's going to go to the veteran.
See, I've never understood that. A call is a call, regardless of the two (or more) players involved (at least in theory). Why would you give preferential treatment to somebody based on how long they've been around? If it's a foul, it's a foul. Call it. If it's not, don't.
