Why not? I think the game would be much more watchable.

These girls dunking on each other would lead to so many cat fights.

Let’s do it.

I 100% agree! They already use a smaller ball they might as well use a lower basket.

Geno even brought this up once.

The nets are different heights in volleyball and it produces 2 entertaining products

I actually mentioned this during the game Friday to a Buddy. Would be very beneficial to the women’s game

My guess is they don't want to constantly move the basket up and down between games. The men almost always use the same court.

It takes about 45 seconds to raise/lower a goal.

I say put it at 9'

THIS 100%
Golfers shorter distance, volleyball lower net, Softball - COMPLETLY DIFFERENT GAME

I know many other sports are exact as men's BUT W Basketball needs this change!

It takes less than a minute to adjust the goal height, the frick kinda excuse is that They did that for the different age groups in my parish league in middle school gyms when I was a kid, I think colleges could be up to such a task

They already play with a smaller ball, why not lower goal. 8.5 to 9ft?

9’ baskets would make the game much more watchable.

How do we make this happen?

Topless? That’s funny now. Not sure it would be more entertaining though based on my observations of college women players.

No, it’s clear there is no athletic difference between men and women.
