Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4387904, member: 6927"] In volleyball, there are many who contend that a WC gold is more impressive than Olympic gold because the field is larger and the playing schedule more grueling. I don't know if there's a similar sentiment about the distinction in basketball. A distinction I do notice is that the W doesn't seem to make an effort to modify scheduling for USWNT camp time and avoid player conflicts. I know It's different with the WC in late September vs. Olympics (usually) in August, but to have key players still in WNBA playoffs when the team is traveling to Australia is not good. It's tempting fate to assume we can win with a team that hasn't practiced together. [/QUOTE]
