In Iowa, HS boys and girls are administered by separate state associations so the Girls union always throws a few differences in there to justify their existence. Iowa girls leave the first spaces in the lane empty instead of the top ones for free throws. There is also no jump ball but instead a coin flip to determine possesion at the start of the game. Coaches are allowed to stand in the box for girls but are confined to the bench in boys.

Mike: Didn't Iowa get rid of the (stupid) old "girls basketball" rules real late (like 1980something)? Well, I guess what they do now is better than that, at least. Hopefully they have gotten rid of the bloomers. Why don't they just join the boys association and let the girls play the same rules? Does this involve separate officials who can only officiate one or the other? Do they have the same season?
