Question Politically incorrect?

In this day and age, I'm somewhat surprised that announcers (and coaches, for that matter) refer to defense in women's games as "man-to-man". I know it's kind of petty to think that's insulting, but with things the way they are, especially since Title 9 came into being, one would think that phrase would not continue to be used in those games.

Again - no big deal to me, but I'm just surprised the term is still used.

And no - I'm not suggesting they say "chick-to-chick", although it would be more entertaining to male viewers.
