Bad call?

It's likely that A1 traveled after the contact if she bounced off the defender. That's the one to get if it's there.

Same thing here last night. A1 trying to drive between B1 and B2. There really wasn't enough room - but no displacement. A's coach harping about the lack of a blocking foul. I told him his player has to have enough room to go between them and had there been a call it would have been PC. Later in game - B2 standing in post facing A1. A1 goes up with some body lean. B2 arms straight up and is planted (he never really ever did move very well) A1's body lean causes contact on the shot. No call - again - not enough contact or displacement to call a PC and there is no way that is ever going to be a foul by B2 against the shooter.
