Those seem like very minor inconveniences compared to putting up separate goals for girls basketball.

I referee high school and youth basketball. The logistics of putting up separate goals for girls everywhere would be very daunting.

To put it in context, the state where I officiate doesn't even mandate shot clocks because it's deemed too expensive/difficult for all the school districts to implement them. Now imagine dealing with trying to get women's only goals installed (either variable height goals, or entirely separate goals on separate, likely net-new courts).

Like I said, softball has propagated so much despite its logistic hurdles because of title ix. It's a sport that soaks up a bunch of girls athletic scholarships at low overhead cost.

That makes sense, but it might be what HAS to happen, if we want a more competitive game that more girls can play. WNBA is weird on it's own anyway. I look at the standings from time to time and it's really feast or famine. There's like 2 or 3 legit teams, but all the other teams are not great. Even CC's team is really mid.
