I remember when Women Basketball was a six person game with 3 forwards and 3 guards.  The 3 forwards were restricted to one half of the court, the 3 guards the other half.  Guards only played defense, forwards played offense.

Next step, as I recall, was one forward was designated a rover and played both ends of the court.

Next step was what I will call Pat Summit ball, full court with set plays.   Slow pace and frankly boring, in my opinion.

Next step was Geno ball, full court, set plays, fast pace.  Much easier to watch, really when I got to be a fan.

Now, the game appears to be headed toward something designated positionless basketball.  As I understand positionless basketball is very much like RPO in football and really requires the PG to run the team, she must make the decision as to the options available to her team based upon the other teams personnel and game strategy.

The Women’s game is, IMO, more fun to watch now than the men’s game.  The men are more athletic but the team aspects of the Women’s game are more elaborate.  At MSST the fans are actually choosing to attend the Women’s game overthe men!
