(It helps if the ref don't call bodychecks as Chiney spins and goes up; I love how she spins, goes up and ends up 2 feet further under the backboard then she started while the defender only "maintained verticality").

There was so much of that. Refs seem to call pushing fouls only if you push by extending your arms away from your body, rarely if you body up and step into the offensive player.

And also able to deal with the propensity I mentioned to favor the charge call over the block (again, I really love how defenders who are still and being driven past at an angle collapse at the slightest touch and often get the call).

OTOH, I hate the blocking call when a driver is going around/past a defender who is giving ground, and intentionally leans/jumps/angles sideways into the defender to create contact and draw a foul. Those are more prevalent in the NBA than WCBB, but I hate them there too. I think a lot more should be no-calls.
