Lol you can fit two women’s balls through the hoop at the same time.
The soccer talk is much more about money brought in and pay to players. And the women are correct.the tremendous irony of this EQUALITY!!!! push is that one of the most visible, leading voices is a professional soccer player that plays on the US National Team that got beat by a regional U15 boys team.
yes. You are TOTALLY equal Megan. Nothing but rampant sexism holding back women’s sports.
the WNT lawsuit was pretty rough which is why it was mostly dismissed. they agreed to a higher guarantee with lower bonuses and then turned around and complained about the lower bonuses. the media coverage was frankly criminally bad.The soccer talk is much more about money brought in and pay to players. And the women are correct.
That’s fair. Although the Elem ending is pretty much how the VAST majority of basketball is played currently, I think we’d all prefer it after one season.No way. One of the great things about basketball is that the rules and court are broadly similar anywhere. Throwing in gimmicks just devalues the product. Zero people are going to turn into women’s basketball just to see 4-point shots and the confusing to people who aren’t Very Online ending (which I think people would hate within a year of anyone adopting it).
You’re confusing “game is effectively out of reach“ with “we picked arbitrary numbers to contrive game-ending shots because we were afraid to reduce timeouts and replay reviews“.That’s fair. Although the Elem ending is pretty much how the VAST majority of basketball is played currently, I think we’d all prefer it after one season.
Huh?That’s fair. Although the Elem ending is pretty much how the VAST majority of basketball is played currently, I think we’d all prefer it after one season.
No, I’m not.You’re confusing “game is effectively out of reach“ with “we picked arbitrary numbers to contrive game-ending shots because we were afraid to reduce timeouts and replay reviews“.
Most basketball that is played isn’t clock based, it’s score based.Huh?
But it doesntSue Bird claims it’s more difficult to shoot with the smaller ball. I think the women’s game makes a massive mistake just mirroring the men’s. They should have the Elam ending, a four point line, just a bunch of random shit.
Most basketball also has players call their own fouls and isn’t full court.Most basketball that is played isn’t clock based, it’s score based.
No.Lol you can fit two women’s balls through the hoop at the same time.
Wins way more in March than FranThey should play 6 on 6. Then we could hear about how the schools all time leading scorer is actually 50 women then Garza.
It doesn’t really matter what rules they institute, the outcome will still be the same 4 schools. Watching Iowa box out with 3 players today only to have someone from UCONN just reach over the top of them and grab the ball was kinda funny. Bluder is a really good coach that has gotten way more out of players like Gustafson and Czinano than most coaches could. Missing on the girl that went to Maryland and not recruiting Joens because of her dad probably prevent her from taking Iowa to a Final Four.
You've been waiting to use that one, haven't you?In her defense, Sue bird has never really touched any other balls than a women’s basketball.
Definitely. Her teams seem to peak at the right time because they get better as the season goes on.Wins way more in March than Fran
Most? Are you high or just dumb?Most basketball that is played isn’t clock based, it’s score based.
The two changes I would like the men to adopt from the women are:But it doesnt
They can also advance to half court on time outs too.I love the five fouls per quarter. Much better than the men's.
I hate that.They can also advance to half court on time outs too.
<whistle> Foul on 32.Sue Bird claims it’s more difficult to shoot with the smaller ball. I think the women’s game makes a massive mistake just mirroring the men’s. They should have the Elam ending, a four point line, just a bunch of random shit.
Let them play topless and I might tune in.No way. One of the great things about basketball is that the rules and court are broadly similar anywhere. Throwing in gimmicks just devalues the product. Zero people are going to turn into women’s basketball just to see 4-point shots and the confusing to people who aren’t Very Online ending (which I think people would hate within a year of anyone adopting it).
Scooped in the men’s tourney thread by AZ.Let them play topless and I might tune in.
Overall, the Iowa women's program has been better and more successful than the men's...probably going all the way back to the early 80s when Stringer became coach.Wins way more in March than Fran
And still people don’t care.Overall, the Iowa women's program has been better and more successful than the men's...probably going all the way back to the early 80s when Stringer became coach.
or just taking punches and losingBaylor taking the punch of a 0-19 run and still has a chance to win.
She’s the worst. Worse than Coach K. The. Worst.I hate her so much and am thrilled that twitter came through in making fun of her tonight:
I'll still love you after you bow this, Beebs.
Women will not be bowed discussing women's basketball.
The rest of you will be reminded of the great shame you are bringing upon yourselves.
Which compels me to mention: you fucks are really watching and discussing women's basketball even after Iowa was eliminated?
jesuscristo. Do other things. Anything, other than that.
Didn’t Fran basically wear the George Raveling jumpsuit all season?It was nice the Arizona coach coach could throw on some sweats to coach in the Final 4.
Yes. But this was more like the stoner rolls off the couch and goes on a Mountain Dew run sweatpants.Didn’t Fran basically wear the George Raveling jumpsuit all season?
