Snap a muscle?

It would be unlikely for a rip to not result in severe hematoma/bleeding, meaning a large bruise would form. I doubt it's a tear, but may be moreso something just cavitating - maybe a rib or something of the sort. She should take it as easy as possible and if it doesn't get better, she should probably go see a doctor. However, I wouldn't really worry about it quite yet. Just tell her to take some ibuprofen for the pain and potential swelling in the time being. That will help.
 
The pop could have just been something in her spine as well. Your whole torso gets involved when you cough, and since that one area is sensitive (b/c it sounds like she pulled it, and those really suck and hurt a lot), she probably felt it there.

Is it possible that some connective tissue pulled away from the rib? I don't know...just throwing it out there.

Probably possible, but I mean what's the likelihood? I hope it's just a random pop that will heal. How is the pain today for her, OP?
