There is more difference in girls ball from 6th grade to varsity than there is difference in boys from 6th to v.
Girls type of contact is very different, it's true. In general, there is more raggedy, scrappy contact, less clean contact. In general.
Girls do more double and triple teaming than boys.
But these are all cleaner at the higher levels, with the spread being much wider in girls.
An individual girl may run as fast as the boys, say on the fast break, but the overall pace of the game is slower in girls. Boys action, not just the running, is faster.
The average of experience that girls have is lower than boys. That doesn't mean that all girls have less experience than all boys, but it means that half the girls have less experience than most boys. Boys tend to start earlier and get serious earlier, and in greater numbers.
Boys never have to be benched because their fingernails are a safety issue.
