The women's coverage is just silly, IMHO.

The reasoning is that there has been less low post play in womens over the years. The coverage gives the lead the option to extend when there's not a lot going on down low. There's usually a lot more high post action, and the lead can pick up drives earlier to be able to see the whole play. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just what some of the rationale has been.
