That foul was a 'pick 'em' between 32 and 42. I still would have liked to see some more hustle from the C because she had an absolutely horrible look at it. If she would have kept hustling thru the play she would have been in a much better spot to see the play. IMO, this is why the L double clutches because it was so obvious there was a foul he just reflexively thought C had a whistle.

Yep. Let the 6'8 player who leads the world in blocked shots NOT be in the paint preventing this exact type of play!

There is no reason for the Lead to double clutch at all. The lead is in great position, pitching the paint, and it is an obvious foul...go get it...if we have a double whistle that is even better. Do you think the Center was gun shy after making the offensive, pass and crash, call 10 seconds earlier?

The center official is below the free throw line when the foul happens...where do you want her to be? Does she get blocked out, straight lined, by Griner? Thoughts.

Is there a difference between pinching the paint and pitching the paint?

Minor point, but she was not below the FT line extended. She had pulled up and walked into position just above the FT and had moved to a position that was at best even with FT.

Regardless, she was completely blocked out as she had two defenders between her and the UL shooter. It would have been a complete guess on her part.

But her view of the previous B/C play was worse and she put a whistle on that

You might want to re watch the video. The C never breaks the FT line extended, even after the whistle.

EDIT. ICall beat me to it
