It was 99% clear to me that the comment was directed at the other girl, impugning her play.

Was she referring to the call, the opponent, or herself, for perhaps not making a better play?

Although you think you know what she meant or who she was talking to, you can't assume. It was soft spoken, it wasn't obvious, and it wasn't directed at you. Leave it alone. Don't look for it. Call it when it's obvious.
BktBallRef...if you officiate half as good as you articulate your thoughts, you are one bad @ss Ref!

P.S. Of course I'm sure you already know that.

Lotto, I don't question that. I'm just saying that if there's any room for error or distortion, you're simply asking for trouble when it isn't obvious. You need to be 100% clear, not 99% clear.

As it is, you handled it without giving the T. Aren't we all better off?
