It is not different than suggesting someone that works youth ball could not handle a varsity game, but it is not politically incorrect to make that statement.

and I think that's exactly the way the NFHS wants it...no difference between the two. The Fed is in the political correctness business. Maybe not the exact legal wording but that's the essence of Title IX

This won't be true until everybody uses the same size basketball.

This is funny on one level, and really, really funny on a another level.

My wife keeps book for local high school, and while her favorite colors of dress are black and white, she will never, ever wear the "ref shirt" at the table. I joke with her from time to time when she questions calls (afterwards) that she should try the whistle sometime, but she says she would never even consider it because of the uniform I expect if forced, she will give up the book.

So for those of us in areas where grey is the officiating shirt, does the scorer still wear stripes or should they wear grey too? What about side panels? Oh the humanity.

I'm kind of surprised this is the big thing to come out of the rule changes meeting.

My position is not really necessarily about the National Federation thinks or wants. My position is how people in general do not want to admit there is a major difference in what happens on a basketball court between the genders. The National Federation does not control what we talk about here and that constant debate comes up all the time just on this forum.

Title IX cuts both ways, it would appear.
