Bart,
That is not true. The NF long switches, birddogging is optional, converage area and rotation is about the same. Anytime I work with a guy that does women's college, we always have to decide if we are going to use NF or Women's logic behind the last second shot. The NF has kept this the opposite table, just like the Men's side. I could go on and on. All the Men did was go table side on fouls. That is about it. Even their Team Foul signals are completely different.
The NF did more to be like the Men's side this year alone than the Men did to be like the Women's side. The Men changed one thing. I would not call that a coming along with much of anything.
Peace
