Since I couldn’t hear/understand the PA system, I assumed that they were assessed technicals; thanks for the correction. At the time, I didn’t think it was fair, as 7 had pushed Jordan down, but in hindsight it was reasonable. It did serve the purpose of reducing the tension. Thought they did a decent job all game,although I’m sure the Cal fans thought we were too rough. Of course, when your pocket was picked clean by Taina so many times, you get frustrated.Just a slight correction: Those weren't double technical fouls, but just double common fouls. The two players were pushing and holding each other down on the block, but not swinging at each other or yelling. Of course, if the ref hadn't called the double foul, it might well have gotten to technicals, but both players did pretty well at not making it personal up until then. I thought that call was one of the better officiating moves on the night. The call calmed the situation down immediately, and kept the situation from over-escalating. There ultimately were no technical fouls called in the game.
Your point about Toby and Woody not backing down is still quite valid, though. They both are quite feisty, and especially in Woody's case, it can be pretty surprising to opponents, who see how thin she is and assume they can just take advantage. The next moment she's blocking their shot and sprinting up court with the ball.
Speaking of Taina, that was one of the better zero point games I’ve ever seen.
