"March 27, 2006, SAN ANTONIO -- LSU's Seimone Augustus drew a charging foul with 4.8 seconds remaining and then made two free throws with 4.6 seconds remaining to send the Lady Tigers to their third-straight Women's Final Four, 62-59, over Stanford...
Off an LSU turnover, Stanford took over with 11.5 and the teams traded 30-second timeouts.
Coming out of the timeout, Wiggins dribbled past Hoston to the elbow, where her progress was stopped by Augustus as she passed to a wide-open Krista Rappahahn. The sharp-shooting Rappahahn buried the three, but the official blew the whistle for a charge long before."
At the time I was convinced that Augustus had fouled Wiggins, and done so after the pass. Rappahahn's trey would have given us a 2 point lead with about 4 seconds left. Instead we go home for the season. This call certainly had great season-altering significance, but were Augustus's feet moving? I thought they were. Anyone remember who made the call?
