My point is that the coaches are going to do what's best for their teams. If playing against the men didn't provide significantly more benefit than competing against women, they wouldn't do it for reasons of player development. Since they're not, then we have to assume they think the competitive benefits outweigh whatever minor benefits of changing.
My other point is that Title IX may actually be reducing the number of quality female athletes on campus that aren't already on scholarship (not a bad thing, but it is a logical result of Title IX). Any female basketball players who are capable of competing with the starters (particularly the post players) are either already on the team or on scholarship at another college. The talent pool for female basketball players just isn't as deep as it is for men. And you don't develop basketball players from scratch at the college level; it's too late by then.
