Agreed that the game was not designed this way by the inventor. The game has however evolved. It has evolved into what it is today. The female players are bigger, stronger, and faster than they were back when I started watching WCBB in the early 80s.The issue is many Women's sites accepted the rough play. Yes they are only FAN's but FAN have driven the Mens game to what it is. The shot clock loved by many is still a thorn in my side. The GAME as designed by the Springfield Canadian--was NON-Contact--the game has drifted very far from the concept. Yes the ball is more lively, the kids more talented, but basketball isn't football or soccer or wrestling (Ok at times you can't tell the difference
Change with it or it will pass you by. There are some phenomenal highly skilled female athletes on the scene today. Not only in basketball but in other sports as well. Track and field, swimming, soccer, and softball for example.
