There's no relationship between NFHS and NCAA anything. The only rule difference in NFHS between boys and girls is ball size. The NCAA has separate committees for their mens and women's rules.

I don't think the shot clock has anything to do with the backcourt rule, except that the women's committee MAY have felt that because their shot clock was only 30 seconds, the 10 second count was unnecessary. Or, it could be because the committee chairman one year was bounced from their tournament due, in their mind, to a bogus 10 second call!

In California there is no 10-second backcourt count for girls. 30 second shot clock.

Yeah, I know. My point was the same as yours, there is no connection.

Washington state has 30 second shot clock for girls with no backcourt 10, but stiil a backcourt 5 for closely guarded held ball.

Question still stands though....does any body know the reason why W NCAA does not have a 10 second rule? I'm curious, also.

NCAA Women's do not have a 10 second BC count because they have a 30 second shot clock. That is the reason whether anyone here likes it or not.

It boils down to the fact that there are different governing bodies, so there are bound to be different rules. Each state has different rule variations (even if it's whether or not to use the coaching box). Some states, like Iowa, have different adoptions for girls than boys. Even after going 5 on 5, they still make themselves feel important by having small variations on certain rules, such as when the arrow gets flipped, which lane spaces are occupied and which are vacant, etc.

My point is, if there's no shotclock you should have a 10 second count since it could lead to stalling. JMO.
