Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3112863, member: 1131"] I think the reason why the unsportsmanlike foul was called was because the UCLA player's hands made contact with Lou's head and/or shoulders as she was coming back to earth from her jump. If she had kept her hands out of the action and just landed on Lou with her body, a common foul would have been called. I think the UCLA player may have been concerned about losing her balance and falling in a way that might have caused injury, so she used Lou as an anchor to prevent that. There was nothing malicious (I thought), just some contact with the hands that was unnecessary (from basketball standpoint) and obviously was not a play on the ball. [/QUOTE]
