Jeff -- I'm the one that usually starts having conniptions when girls' basketball is being "put down". I haven't done it yet, because I was out being a ref, and didn't see this thread until now. Rich was talking about a specific game, and there's no offense there. Good grief, we all see terrible girls' games just like we all see terrible boys' games.
Tomegun seems to be into rash generalizations these days, so his post:

IMO, girls think they are entitled to reach for the ball no matter where it is and who has it. Add to that the fact that the girl with the ball doesn't know how to protect the ball and you have a lot of jump balls and fouls.

doesn't mean much. Other posts in this trhead have been about foul count and listening to coaches. Nothing much to react to.
I do think that Zebraman overstates the case by saying that you are talking stupid. You were merely making an observation that there hasn't been the usual rant about girls' basketball.
When I read a post like Rich's, or about the kinds of girls' ball you do, I just feel sorry for you-all. We are fortunate here in Portland to have some very, very good girls' teams, and we see a lot of very good ball. We also have some very lousy boys' teams. SO the gradient isn't as steep here between boys' ball and girls' ball. Pity for you isn't prompting a rant from me anymore.
