The woman's ball is the same size as the FIBA international basketball for all to include the men's game. That is why the USA men's basketball team has to get used to it for International games.

You hear journalists saying that from time to time, but actually the men's FIBA ball and the NBA balls are the same size. NBA players still have to adjust to the FIBA ball's different panel/seam patterns, but not a size difference.

Thanks for that info, because I've been hearing the announcers saying it during the World games and the Olympics.
