Agree I think it is impossible to know just watching the video. It comes down to the judgement of the official on the spot, and best believe if that is me and I had to separate the two of them at the other end of the floor 30 seconds ago, I am taking that into account when I decide what W's true intent was.

I see it a bit differently. White is definitely pissed that she is being harassed as she dribbles. There must be some history or just a real attitude on white. She doesn't swing at the red player per se, but that is really wild, unorthodox throwing movement of her arms. She's definitely is not trying NOT to hit her (if that makes sense). She is not doing a standard or even flashy pass. That is movement born out of frustration.

I could perhaps see an intentional especially if there is history with this player. Prob not flagrant, but common, intentional or flagrant, I'm definitely having a word with this player and/or her coach.
