Should the rim in Women's basketball be lowered?

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - When you think of UConn women’s college basketball coach Geno Auriemma, what comes to mind?

How about success, success and more success?

The 58-year-old has won seven national championships in Storrs and has an unfathomable career winning percentage of .862. He’s lead the Huskies to 19 Big East regular-season championships and 18 Big East Tournament championships.

...

“What makes fans not want to watch women’s basketball is that some of the players can’t shoot and they miss layups, and that forces the game to slow down,” Auriemma told CPTV in Hartford. “How do (we) help improve that? Lower the rim [from 10 feet]. Do you think the average fan knows that the net is lower in women’s volleyball than men’s volleyball? It’s about seven inches shorter so the women have the chance for the same kind of success at the net [as the men].”

What wiil they think of to put in the Comanchero cart next?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

A large-block Hemi?



Small-block Hurry?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Generation 1 and 2 Hemis were big-blocks by definition. The Gen 3, I'm not so sure, and it doesn't quite weigh 600 pounds.


The best part of my old Mopar is, no computers.

Surviving the comanchero EMP will be paramount.



:nods:

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Man, they got control modules for everything.


Adjusting a carburetor is Black Magic any more.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

They even have tires that beep at you when under pressure...

All hoops should be lowered, no matter what.

There is such a bias against short people!

If women played roundball topless the game would really be more interesting. I love to see tits bounce. Stupid comment. Who doesn't...

They have soccer.


The goal is right there on the ground...

Honestly...



I would put some of those women in Mexican wrestler's masks...

There was a cute Russian woman playing b-ball for the local uni here 25 years ago. Six feet five, smoked like a chimney, gravelly voice . . . some kinda hawt.

Chernobyl lights?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

If she had bigger tits, I could have stood in the shadows.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

... though I walk through the valley of the shadow...

I think my rod and staff would have gotten me in trouble.

You could have gotten in deep!

It needs to be raised three feet in Men's basketball.

*chuckle*

 

[Saint Peter]

Lower their rim and dress them like the volleyball players!

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Beach volleyball players?

Pete, you're a good guy, but you obviously haven't watched much women's basketball lately. Dress them like volleyball players? *shudder*

 

[mercury14]

The rim looks fine to me.

 

[Saint Peter]

Is there any other kind?

Beach volleyball players?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

No other kind at all...
