Should college WBB play with a regular size basketball?

They're fielding teams with majority 6ft+ players and 6'5 centers.
I was probably 5'5 in middle school playing with the same size bball as in the NBA.

What is the difference in sizes?

To most women, one inch makes a huge difference.

No and they should lower the goals to 9 ft.

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?

I like this idea the most but its not practical. Imagine all the Rec/HS/CBB gyms that would need to get new rims for this to work. Not a big deal for CBB teams but the expense for Rec/HS would be prohibitive.

Most gyms have adjustable goals for kids at this point.

Ok, makes sense.
So let’s go with stiletto heels.

They could put u those removable wooden backboard goals that they hang off the 10 footers at the YMCA for the little kids games

What gym doesn't have adjustable goals? 25 years ago our high school gym could do this.

I once heard a chick say " what is the difference between 'oohh' and 'aahh'?
Two inches".
Two inches".

No one would watch it.
Look at the low scores in the Men's Tournament and the high scores in the Women's Tournament.
Its hard to miss with a women's ball...even if you're off, it just bounces around and in.
If the Women played with a men's ball in College, games would be 20-15.
