Just one more reason to scratch my head at NCAA women's rules. Who comes up with this stuff and why?

We have the 30-second shot clock for girls basketball here in Washington State. Yes, there is no 5-second count when a girl is dribbling. With the 30-second clock, it's pretty rare that a girl dribbles more than 5 seconds because they are constantly working for a good shot since time is limited. I officiated a 4A girls varsity tonight and we never had one shot clock violation - I don't think we even ever got under 5 seconds. BTW, a held ball is another shot clock reset.
