Historically I would agree with you about WBB, but honestly the product the women are putting on the floor this year is great. I mean sure – it’s fun to watch someone dunk the ball, but the men’s game – both pro and college – has turned into one of dribble the ball down the court, take a 3, miss, the opposing team takes the ball to the other end of the court, jacks up a 3, misses, and back and forth until someone actually hits. And maybe sometimes you get someone playing isolation who will go straight to the rim and dunk it, but the game men’s game can be as boring to watch as women’s once was.
Our women’s team this year plays tough. They move the ball around. They work to get good shots. It really is team ball. I quickly went back and looked at the box scores from the games this year. While Megan Huff is clearly our best player, we have had 5 ladies who have lead the team in scoring in different games, and most games see 3-5 players scoring in double figures. It is a balanced game and, quite frankly, a lot more fun to watch than the tennis match MBB has become. My wife and I like to have positive female role models for our youngest daughters, so for years we have purchased season tickets to Gymnastics. We won tickets to a WBB game last year and had a great time, so we decided to purchase WBB season tickets this year. They have loved going to the games and getting the chance to meet the players after every game, and they love to bring their friends. Now if only I could get them to do a better job of heckling the refs…
Seriously, though, I understand your opinion about WBB, but if you have not seen the product that we are putting on the floor this year, you really need to attend a game or two. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
