watching the video didn't sway me to agreeing with her. having said that, i really haven't thought about lowering the basket in the women's/girls game at all. 

 

the one thing that comes to mind, wonder the consequences of trying to adjust to a lower basket? don't know, maybe it wouldn't take the players long. 

 

btw, the dunk has never really impressed me. i think there are many more skills in basketball that impress me more than a dunk. delle donne tries to argue there are more advantages than the dunk, though.

Personally I have felt they should raise the rim for men and lengthen the court.

I'm with you whoopdeedoo leave the game as it is. I like the fact that women need the basic skills to succeed.

Thought that for quite a while...men pros to 12'...maybe men's college to 11'

The smaller ball has been what has improved the women's game.  Lowering the basket would take away some credibility from the game.
