It's always confusing to select either "while" or "when" when encountering "as". I learned that "as" can be "while" when two actions are happening at the same time, but sometimes even such cases are translated as "when". What is the standard to tell "while" and "when" for "as"? In this example, is the first "while" and the second "when"?

ex)Two-elementary-school basketball teams consisting of only girls are playing in South Dakota. During the game, one of the players on the DeSmet Bulldogs is fouled by a player from the opposition. Fouls are common in basketball games and are nothing to get excited about. But this time, the crowd goes wild as a young girl slowly walks onto the court. As the crowd cheers her name, 11-year-old Cylie Pastian stands alone and shoots the two free throws for her teammate.
