Very true especially if your moving into the next level with woman's basketball. It goes without saying that these are two completely different forms of basketball. You could make the arguement that at it's best, and most pure form, the girls game it fantastic when played at a high level. And when it's not, you want to stab yourself in the eye with a pencil. Alot of people may choose to avoid the female game all together. Patty Broderick is maybe one of the best officials in the world and attending one of her camps may shed new light on there style of play, and your interest in it. JMO
