You're correct. The big thing the powers that be emphasize with us is freedom of movement. Since - save for one person - the game isn't played above the rim in NCAAW, their game suffers considerably if illegal screens aren't dealt with. The other part of the equation is women react differently to contact than men do, especially at the lower levels. Men expect some level of contact, women get ticked off a lot faster when they think the contact is remotely close to the line.
