Huge changes proposes to women's hoops.

Apparently the intent,,, speed things up a bit, but more to align the game with international rules.

The backcourt thing, huge, though the change to quarters will certainly generate the most talk.

and perhaps I'm missing something.
The rule change, along with play quarters, says at 5 team fouls per quarter you get to double bonus, rather than 10 per half. then each quarter the team fouls reset. What happens to one and one?

They said any shot in the bonus would be two shots (unless it's 1 shot following an and-1 or 3 shots following a foul on a 3-pt attempt).

I think the advancement of the ball would be the biggest rule change by far, not the implementation of quarters.

I thought the same,,, but it will only be during the final minute, and in OT.

I'll be curious to see how much more pressure defense comes as a result of the change to the backcourt count.

I think that women's hoops should be about quick paced games and pretty girls hitting three point shots. Men watch sports, not women, so even women's hoops should cater to the wants of men. The larger and unattractive women should be marginalized if you want more viewers.

We should try to make the women's team like Paul Westhead's Loyola Marymount teams. People want scoring and three point shots.

have such a low opinion of your self, desperate for attention, that you have to side arm insults at the people, xavier students, who work to entertain alums like yourself, go away

The problem with Snipe's premise is that sports like volleyball would be killing it if that's all it took to improve the game.

It isn't Snipe's fault, he is just currently possessed by former LSU athletic director Joe Dean. Hopefully an exorcism can be arranged so he stops sounding like a sexist idiot. Stay strong Snipe, you can beat this.
