This is true, though I'm only aware of it happening once and the women just beat the crap out of the guy proposing it in committee. Of course, it it seemed to be (and I'm going to get beat up on this one) an ego thing, yet in ISF and all other co-rec with which I am familiar, everyone hits the 12" ball ....and not poorly.
