I feel bad for them.

I don't think so. That shot was perfectly buried and almost no way you get to it with enough weight to remove it. Attempting that shot would have been way harder than what Homan attempted, which didn't require as much precision. She wasn't playing a perfect freeze. Just enough in front of the italian stone that they would have had to remove it, avoid jamming on their own and keep the shooter. Instead Homan can't draw the 8 foot.
