For example the women admin free throws with the two bottom spaces left unoccupied. The men are experimenting with this this year. The men now have adopted what the women have done for the last couple of years in allowing all subs to come on a multiple free throws when a injured or DQ'd . player goes out.

If you know anything about Men's experimental rules, they often are not adopted at all. So I would not be surprised if that rule is not adopted. It is not a big deal.

Could you name something specific? I watch these things closely and I cannot name anything that was specific to the Women's game that was just adopted by the Men's game. Many of the rules changes are made by both at the same time like the Team Control foul.

This will funnel across to other leagues because it makes the most sense to keep the game moving.
I'm not saying one side is better then the other. Just that most changes that happen start with the women.

Like what? The women changed their coverage area, Men's stayed the same. The women allow walking and talking in reporting, the Men do not allow that you have to come to a complete stop. The Men require a stop clock in mechanics on fouls and out of bounds calls, the Women do not. Women have an airborne shooter rule; the Men have for a very long time never adopted one (at least the way it is administered, we already had this discussion BTW). Shot clock times are different. Point of Interruptions is different in a couple of areas. Guidelines for hand checking, post play, intentional fouls are a little different. I realize you want these things to be the same but they are not. I have seen the Women adopt a lot of things and the Men's side refused. Maybe I do not remember something, but you will have to tell me what the Men adopted that the Women had first.
Peace
