Initially I thought intentional, but with more review I don't think so...

I'm not sure of the flagrant 1 foul rule - but I think it should've been a flagrant 1. Why I don't think it is intentional - I think #2 is swiping up hard to knock the ball out of Kitley's hand. Completely misses, which causes her arm to flex back behind her head. I think she then pulls her arm back down to a both hands up position, but the momentum from her arm being so far behind her head took her elbow into Kitley's forehead. Or, she does this alot and knows hot to miss with the swipe up so she can come back with the elbow and then claim it was an accident from her swipe up.

Finally saw the play: DISGUSTING. BC player should’ve been ejected and it

I remember a play when I was playing HS BB as a freshman

As HokieAI Pointed out Above, Look at #21, Same Elbow Chop Motion.

They didn’t even take a look. That was amazing to me. **

Your last paragraph makes some sense…that’s still intentional
hokiepro • 02/12/24 04:15 PM ET
It's doesn't have to be intentional in NCAAW to be flagrant 2. Simply
King of Hokies • 02/12/24 04:11 PM ET
Looks like a WWF kind of chop. **
VTexas • 02/12/24 02:34 PM ET
opponent looks uncoordinated, but it's an awkward movement to lead
VT757to276 • 02/12/24 12:52 PM ET
You don’t make that move without intent
hokiepro • 02/12/24 01:01 PM ET
That's not true. It's an uncoordinated move from a player who also doesn't
King of Hokies • 02/12/24 03:52 PM ET
Rewatch it; she lifts her arm and chops toward her head
hokiepro • 02/12/24 03:56 PM ET
She lifted her arm trying to punch the ball out. her arm chops down because
King of Hokies • 02/12/24 04:07 PM ET
You would swing your elbow to clear space, which makes it intentional
Italian Stallion • 02/12/24 01:06 PM ET
Only time an elbow is justified is when “chinning” the ball with 2 hands
hokiepro • 02/12/24 01:51 PM ET
I could not believe they did not review it. As far as the intent, it
dallasvt • 02/12/24 12:19 PM ET
This play is literally the textbook definition of a Flagrant 2 Foul.

Far be it from the ACC refs to actually know the rules of basketball.**

After watching this about 100 times....

And her teammate, who saw the whole thing, is calling for traveling!**
Italian Stallion • 02/12/24 11:53 AM ET
Funny if not a travesty **
TomTurkey • 02/12/24 07:34 PM ET
I think I got a snap shot**
jdkhokie • 02/12/24 12:45 PM ET
And absolutely no concern about what happened by any BC player.
