Incredible mess at end of game

I find all this disparity very interesting. I am a coach in Rhode Island. Here we have backcourt 10 secs, 30 sec shot clock, and closely guarded - held AND dribbling! This year I saw maybe two of each (I guess we really run and gun in RI).

Can you tell me if ncaaw and ncaam use the same size basketball.

Here in Cali the rules are:

Boys - 35 Sec. Shot Clock, 10 sec. backcourt, 5 second count on both the dribble and held ball ONLY in front court

Girls - 30 Sec. Shot Clock, no 10 sec. count, 5 second count on ONLY held balls FULL COURT

The disparity is a little annoying because most officials do both and occassionally we start counting when we don't have to.

Here in Manitoba we use Modified NCAA rules. Both the Mens and Womens play under same rules.

30 second shot, 10 seconds backcourt, and 5 seconds closely guarded dribbling or held ball full court.

The closely guarded makes for some interesting situations especially in tight full court defense. We have been given instruction to give some leway to the offense as long as they are advancing the ball up the court. I dont think I have ever called 5 sec violation in backcourt when someone was dribbling the ball.

Women's ball is smaller. But the rim is the same size...
