re: Should college WBB play with a regular size basketball?

While it doesn't bother me one way or the other, you do have to admit it is counterintuitive to the exaggerated message that the women's game is equal to the men's game, right? For months we all heard about how Clark was the greatest scorer in all of college basketball...surpassing Pete Maravich. Much of the media bent over backwards to make sure you knew there was no distinction whatsoever between the men's game and women's game...despite the fact the women play with a smaller ball (even though the diameter of the rim is the same).

The 3 point line is already the same as the men's game. Why not just play with the same size ball?
