Um, Coach. You wanna explain that last comment? Seems to me like college is a higher level of competitive ball. Not trying to pick nits, just trying to figure out what you really meant.

With the WNBA and the advent of women getting sponsorships, it will undoubtably change with time.
If the WNBA lasts another 5 years, I'll be amazed. Nobody watches on TV. They had 5 or 6 teams either fold or move in the off-season. The only reason the league is solvent is that Stern keeps pumping money into it. And now the player's association is talking about a strike. If a women's league can't develop an audience on the Lifetime Channel (marketed at women!), then how can it possibly survive? I can't believe they're still in operation now, let alone in 5 years. Just my opinion.
