Y'all are right. The refs call And-1s for Hidalgo ...
... even when she doesn't get touched or barely gets touched.
I randomly looked up from working and saw one happen.

It’ll be the first time
Now I will say we finally got a body contact call for her (yeah there was contact but less than Hammond was contacted vs Miami) to beat UVA. It WAS a foul but Carleigh sees lots of those go uncalled

ACC refs fall for it like clockwork. Very predictable.

Getting breathed on to heavily on the offensive end. Quite annoying to watch.

She knows exactly what she is doing whenever she falls (especially when she is not or barely touched). And the ACC has spent so much money marketing her, that they allow it to happen.

And with her being the face of the ACC - the refs are going to give her the calls. But it gets quite annoying. The announcers will not stop talking about her. I think Fournier is more skilled, although she plays a different position. But I see Fournier get mugged and no calls, and I do believe she was good enough to be ACC player of the year but it’s not appealing enough.

Her skill alone is enough to put her among the top of the ACC. And that's what makes the flopping annoying. She doesn't need it. All it does is create imbalance in the way games are called and encourages her to play aggressive while not giving the same consideration to others.
