The women's game is played less than a foot off the hardwood and is hard on the eyes unless the court is full of Tyra Buss types.
Yeah, one of the joys of watching IUWBB the last few years was watching Mack Holmes playing down low. No hops, but the positioning and footwork were beautiful. In the few WNBA games I've seen, post play is painful to watch. The perimeter play, otoh, is pretty damn slick.
