Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1726965, member: 569"] I'm not knocking the ladies. Its just a fact that the ball the women use is smaller and thus the shot can be off center more than it could with a larger ball and still go through. I think this is simply one of the reasons however as the women's game has seemed to stress shooting much more than the men's. Thankfully the NBA of late seems to be stressing shooting again and thus the college men's game will follow. Obviously there are some style differences as well. The reason why the ball is smaller doesn't change the fact that it is smaller and thus to an extent easier to put through the hoop however marginal that difference may be. BTW, thanks for the history lesson as I didn't know any of that and its always good to learn. My 7 year old daughter started bball over this last winter so I'm trying to advance my knowledge when it comes to women's hoops. I'll be watching the Orange tomorrow and cheering. [/QUOTE]
