Lightbulb Rotations are really different.

Rotations are completely different. In NCAA Women's you are suppose to rotate when the ball crosses the middle of the court. In NF you are suppose to to rotate when the ball is below FT line extended and the ball has settled to some extent. Even the NCAA Men's does not rotate at the same rate as NCAA Women's. That is why the coverage area is so different. You have to rotate more in CCA Women's Mechanics to maintain the coverage area. You have a wider area in Women's mechanics. You have the 3 point line, out of bounds on the sideline and in general a more extended area. In NF mechanics, you basically have the post.

Really only the NF Mechanics and the CCA Men's Mechanics are much more inline. CCA Women's is another world.

Peace
