Talk:Women's basketball

[edit] A Page of Its Own

In spite of their shared history, women's basketball is distinct from men's; it has a different history, as well as its own competitions and regulations. If you believe a redirect is in order, please discuss here before making any changes. Thanks~ Deebki 13:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Similarity to netball

The early rules of womens' basketball are similar to netball. Are there still differences from the mens' game? (other than 6 players on the court instead of 5) Scott Gall 00:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I have been trying to update the Netball article. It seems like from what I've read so far, netball and women's basketball originally were the same thing, (netball for a long time was called "women's basketball"). Maybe some effort could be put towards working out when they split into two distinct sports. Matt 16:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Organization needed

This article is poorly organized. I made some first steps to try to clean this up, but more work is needed.--Patzer42 18:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I've been working on cleaning up this page, but it still needs a lot of work. Specifically I think the 'recent history' and 'time line' sections need more attention. Are there any basketball historians out there who can help? 4.249.228.49 (talk) 16:06, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
