WNBA Finals - who you got?

Ok, so I only saw a small bit of the game, however one foul was interesting. I understand the intent of the safe space landing, however Gray shot a 3 and came down on defender's foot, whilst that leg was way in front of her body. Is there a "dance space" circle around the shooter for it to be considered a foul, vs not?

In another game they were talking about this. If it is a natural motion for that player, it will get called but if it is unnatural (i.e., intentionally seeking contact), it won't. So it is basically tailored to each player's tendencies.

Thanks. That must be SO much fun for the refs to figure out which player kicks out, sideways, or whatever ....

It probably gets easier as the season progresses but I agree.

With everything else they need to figure out, I don't envy them.
