Lowering the rim completely changes the root principles of the game. Basketball is a game that can be played by anyone. Though the WNBA has never seriously considered this change, it will just create more division within a sport where gender bias is the biggest hurdle.

Because of the player-to-rim difference, the game is played at a different speed and in a different style. As a result, dunking is rare but not impossible. Since the league's inaugural season in 1997, dunking has become ever so slightly more common. Those who like seeing it can thank Brittney Griner.

For the women, they play with a smaller ball compared to the men, the three-point line has a close perimeter and the women do not play higher than the rim, unlike the men. Despite the differences, there are even more similarities and parallels. The popularity of women's basketball is far and wide.

History was made for coach Dawn Staley and the South Carolina women's basketball program on Sunday.

Each women's team is also financed by an NBA team, Front Office Sports reports. That said, the annual salaries of the top five highest-paid WNBA coaches of 2024 ranged between $500,000 and $1.2 million.

Tennessee parted ways with coach Kellie Harper on Monday after five seasons, opting to make a change to try to reinvigorate a program that has not played for a national championship since the late Pat Summitt retired. Harper, who played under Summitt, could never quite get the program back to an elite level.

Regulation basketball hoops used throughout America have a standard height of 10 feet (3.05 meters) from the ground. That is the official height of hoops for all players aged 12 or older, meaning players ranging from school children to NBA superstars use a 10 feet high hoop.

But the biggest difference notable to fans is likely the difference in formats of playing. Men's basketball plays two 20-minute halves with several media timeouts to get players to rest, while the women play four 10-minute quarters.

The standard basketball size used in college (NCAA) basketball for men and women is the same size that is used in both the NBA and WNBA, which is 29.5in (size 7) for men and 28.5in (size 6) for women. The ball must be inflated so that the weight of the ball is a maximum of 22oz for men and a maximum of 20oz for women.

The reason is self-explanatory. Women are typically smaller than men, so smaller balls allow them to shoot and pass more quickly and effectively. To go back and forth between the two balls, as many original WNBA stars did, wasn't as difficult or dramatic of a change as some thought.
