[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 857513, member: 1199"] My view is that the men's game is played above the rim and the women's game is played on the floor. Clearly, the men use more power to make plays than the women, but I think the concept of play design is similar. It's all about getting open for shots you think are makeable. Ball movement and PNR plays are almost identical. Maybe one of the other posters can add to or correct me on this, but I do not remember seeing much zone defense in the women's game. One thing that is absolutely different is the depth of quality teams. In the men's game there are probably 150 teams capable of having a good enough night to beat a top 25 team. I do not think that's the case in the women's game. Not yet. But it is getting a bit better every year. Another thing that is changing is the dedication to improving individual play that is catching on with more women. The tweets and videos of Nicole Melious are just an example. She is not the only female gym rat out there and that was almost unheard years ago. Her family is supporting her to be an athlete in ways most families would have done only with their sons in the past. I think you can watch Paige Bueckers and imagine her in a pickup game with college level basketball players and holding her own. Same with Lorela Cubaj. [/QUOTE]
