High-elbow rule question

[45otseoj]

Yesterday in the ISU vs. Drake women's basketball game there was a high-elbow foul called on ISU's Shala Jackson.
Jackson recieved the ball on the left wing. She took a dribble to her left and beat her defender for an uncontested lay-up.
On the way to the basket Jackson caught her defender with her right elbow on the natural back-swing of her arm.
Jackson's elbow was NOT above her shoulder. Drake's defender was lunging to stop Jackson in a squatted defensive stance.
Jackson took 3 dribbles after the contact was made before reaching the goal.
The Drake defender dropped to the floor in a heap, and play was stopped FOLLOWING the lay-up.
The officials went to the monitor to look at the replay.
They rewarded ISU with the lay-up (which happened after the charged foul) and rewarded Drake with 2 free throws.

Was the rule used correctly?

Was the sequence of events done correctly?
-Elbow contact made
-Jackson makes lay-up
-Officials stop play for Drake injury
-Officials go to monitor to see contact replay
-Officials rule that the basket counts
-Officials charge Jackson with a high-elbow foul

I believe it's a judgement call by the officials. If the shot is released before the foul occurred, they can allow the basket and award free throws to the other team. If the foul had occurred before the shot release, it should have been a player-control foul (charging), and there would be no free throws, and just a change of possession.

No foul was not called until after they went to the monitor.
The contact happened around the 3 point line.

I have seen this three times already just as you have described where the refs use the monitors then call the foul..
there is a special emphasis this season on watching for the use of the elbows

Elbows are a "point of emphasis" with officials this year. Anything deemed unnecessarily aggressive can be called for a "T".
