If I'm not mistaken, there's been a shot clock in women's basketball long before there was in the men's game. Since you only had 30 seconds to hit the rim, it didn't make sense to the rulemakers to limit backcourt to ten seconds.
Granted, the men's game has a 35-second shot clock, but I guess those rulemakers never bothered to change the backcourt rule. If it ain't broke...
