Message: [QUOTE="OldSchooler, post: 4235001, member: 11804"] One of the reasons Geno favored this move is because he wanted to see a greater emphasis on playmaking, passing and cutting to the basket. (Isn't this what we all love about women's basketball?) I'd like to see how the number of assists per game, relative to 3-point attempts per game, has been affected since the line move. And he also favors having the women use the same size basketball as the men, although that has met with some resistance. A few years ago, UConn used a men's size basketball for a pre-season game, and they still scored over 90 points in the game. Hey, women have the strength, stamina, agility and shooting eye accuracy for this game. (Wasn't that long ago that women were banned from running in a marathon, because the "experts" thought it was too much for them.) They now play on the same size court, in all its dimensions (height and circumference of basket, size of lane, 3-point line, etc.). Why not the same size ball? [/QUOTE]
