Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3455228, member: 730"] Pretty sure it was 2016 season. Don't remember the game. An opponent has the ball on a TO and is going down court alone ahead of Jefferson by 2-3 steps as they cross half-court. Jefferson catches up and passes the much taller player as they cross the foul line. The player goes for a left-side layup while Jefferson leaps , does a 180 in mid air, and as the player lifts the ball above her head Jefferson, still in the air, blocks the ball back into the player's face. The ref, trailing the play down the left sideline and 20+ feet away with only a view of the back of the ball handler calls Jefferson for a foul despite there clearly being no contact except for Jefferson's hand on the ball. UConn won the game but what was to me the best defensive play I ever saw was thrown into the trashcan instead of becoming a classic video clip. [/QUOTE]
