And the set shot comes from so low
If the hoops were lower it would require less strength and less windup.

Should women play basketball on an 8 or 9 ft basket?

It would definitely be a better product if they played with shorter hoops.

It's an infrastructure problem. Most hoops are 10' and only 10'. Don't have

It would be very doable if it caught on. Someone would invent

Agreed. But it would probably take some innovation. I just think the costs

They already use a smaller ball but with the same rim circumference

No need. With men claiming to identify as women, the WBB product will improve.

Would women want to lower the hoop? I doubt it.

Why not try it? 9 feet would be far more entertaining than the product today.

DI players (which I assume is what you’d be watching) have no trouble w/ 10 ft.

No trouble? What about dunking?

At this point, it probably won't happen. But it probably woulda been wise.

It would be a much better game at 9'. It would be even more like men's bball

Now that men are women too, no.

Definitely not.

This is ridiculous. How would lowering the rim improve the game?
Tortillero

It would allow for higher shot release points, which would look more like men

I would be way more likely to watch a women's basketball game on a 8' 6" rim.

The interesting thing with women's basketball is that the it is actually a more fundamentally sound version of the game

I watched the Lady Cougs play UoP last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

That could add hundreds of new fans beyond the hundreds the WNBA already has!

No, unless you think dunking is amazingly entertaining. You’ll see woman start
A Drew Aitch
2/12/21 10:58am
CB tells me dunks are no longer entertaining, so why lower the rim?
flyonawall
2/12/21 12:48pm
No! This would further undermine the legitimacy of Women's basketball

That's exactly what a bunch of insecure CBers are hoping for. It's amazing how
Tortillero

I predict shooting accuracy would go down, lame dunks would go up
