Increasing the size of the rim (technical and cost considerations not withstanding) would seem to address Gino's stated problems and not mess up the muscle memory.

To me, it sounds like he wants to see women dunking the ball ... not necessarily more or higher scoring. In either case, I don't think it would improve the quality of play.
