But, whether we use it (or the 5 sec closely guarded)
or not,it should be the SAME for boys and girls
basketball. No need to change the game for the
girls, IMO.

Even if a clock is implemented, I think both counts should remain. The 5 second count is to encourage team play rather than relying on a single player.
The 10 second count is needed to give the defense a chance to steal the ball before 30 seconds are up. The entire court is a large area for the offense to use to play keep away.
