I agree.....and disagree :)
Juulie,
Interesting theory, and one that I agree with, and disagree with at the same time.
Although boys generally have a greater desire for independance, I would argue that boys are generally more willing to let go of that independance to become part of the group. Look at fraternities, gangs, the military and team sports - all these areas basically demand that the individual cease to exist when they become a part of the group - and these groups are largely dominated by males.
IMHO males are more willing to join groups than females, however once in a group, women consider the ramifications of their actions in terms of the group, whereas men consider their indvidual needs first.
This translates back to basketball, and the point you made about women playing better "team" basketball than men.
