From the Boneyard in a thread discussing Missy Barlow

'I did a quick calculation for all PAC-12 games last season in which Stanford played, and non-Missy ref'd games averaged 31.1 fouls per game, while Missy-ref'd games averaged 38.3 fouls per game, so games with Missy at the helm had, on average, 25% more fouls. At least I'm not hallucinating...

 As to Dijonai, I also felt something was wrong - she didn't seem to have any "hop", and her 2 free throws weren't close

I think Carrington had an off night and we have depth such that if someone isn't playing great then Tara is more than willing to give someone else a try.  Last year we didn't have anyone who could drive and finish over players the way Carrington can.  This year we have a healthy Lexie and Jones who can give it a try.  I also think Tara was frustrated at the rebounding from Fingall and Jerome which is why Belibi and Prechtel played most of the center minutes in the second half.
