I think the biggest change is NF is now flexing off the ball. The L go strong side, once the ball is accross half court and pass the lane line extended. They can also bounce the ball in the back court base line and on the side lines. I use to think NF says we don't switch in the back court, but I'm not sure.

Everything you just stated has nothing to do with the women's game exclusively. Many of the mechanics are similar. But it is not like the Women's game invented them or changes have come directly from them. Actually the Women's Mechanics are more influenced by the WNBA. Yes the WNBA is influenced by the NBA, but it has been obvious that the NCAA (Men)is not trying to follow the NBA way of doing things. That is very clear.
Heck, the NCAA Women's officials work the college season, then turn around and work the WNBA season. Of course they want some similarities. They want to make it easy on themselves. But the NCAA does not have the influence nor do officials work both NCAA and NBA games. That cannot happen.

Does the Men's side have a mechanics book? If so, does it say when to flex? If so, does it say to flex as stated in the NF and CCA manual for Women's?
