Thoughts? T's for the shove and trash talk vice the smooch?

The referee blows the whistle on the initial contact (not the kiss). It certainly looked like it deserved something; T's or double foul.

That's a pretty freakin' odd sequence. I didn't really see anything Augustus did to deserve a foul...maybe some trash talk that the camera didn't catch? Taurasi throws a shoulder...squares up...and then plants a smooch. Augustus just stood her ground.

I honestly don't know what I would do in a case like that. What would happen in a men's or boys HS game if you witnessed a series like that? I'm betting a retaliatory swing by the receipient would probably follow the kiss.

I think it is safe to assume Augustus said something. The official had a good opportunity to see her her mouth moving (at least more than the kiss of course). I have no problem with what the official did.

Peace

The official throwing up the "X" in an NBA/WNBA game signals a double foul.
