Other then then extending the 3 point line what other experimental rules have they not adopted.

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.

The biggest change I can think of is the table side switching.That happened with the women first and then after either one year or two went to the men.

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.

Where are the POI's different other then our blarge conversation? I agree again that there are differences and that their will always be.

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.

I'm not referring to POE. These have to stay different because of the different styles of play.
Let me rephrase @ least in the last couple of years most of the changes that are happening are happening on the women's side. I agree there are some that are happening on both. I can't remember...when was the last major change the men made without the women making a change?
I'm sure the men will go to two handed reporting soon. The bleeding/contact player rule will funnel through.
You never answered my question. How are the women trying to be like the WNBA?
