Okay, I just saw the replay, and it's an easy call on A2. Looking at the point of contact, her legs are nearly 45 degrees from the floor as she leans into the oncoming player. Bracing for contact does not include a body check.

My first thought was a possible intentional foul; when illegal contact (and this was) gets excessive (this might be), it can be an intentional regardless of "intent."

BTW, I still don't know what exactly "game management" is. Some cite it to justify not calling a technical foul. Others cite it when claiming they never have to call a technical foul. Still others cite it when calling a foul on what should, by rule, be incidental contact. Note again for the record, this play does not qualify as incidental contact, IMO, because A2 was obviously leaning into her and in real speed, it looks like she even used her arms to increase the level of contact.
