Louisville/Baylor (Women)

As for what to do? I don't know. I thought people here might have some insight as to the right way to handle it. On the one hand, I don't think you can do much other than what she did (step toward the huddle and tweet); a T under those circumstances might be overly officious. On the other hand, to let the whole team huddle (including the shooter) while everyone else is ready to resume play is giving an unfair advantage to Baylor which, as I mentioned, had no time outs left at that point. But the graciousness of the officials toward Baylor was not something Coach Mulkey emphasized in her post-game press conference....

Based on the one time that I saw the clip (so this might not be right), Baylor was huddling because the Louisville player had fouled out. Once the player let, and the official let them know that, they came out. The game wasn't delayed.

What the official did appeared to be good game management. Calling an immediate T for the FT shooter not being in the circle at the exact instant the player was replaced would have led to even more Ts.

...

That what I saw. Baylor was huddled and the next shot is of the Louisville player still headed towards her bench.

The only real issue I have in the above clip is the charge. That was a flop for the ages. In no way shape or form do I see a charge.

The other foul calls were all fine. No issue with them.

That was the C's or the L's. There is no way the T should have ever come in on that play. The defender was in the lane and didn't come in with the drive. That is usually the L's.

It would have been a delay of game warning first, not a TF
