Rules and Equipment
Rules for women's basketball are the same as the rules for men's basketball with the exception of one rule: the circumference of the women’s basketball is 1in. smaller than the circumference of the size of the men's basketball. Also, in American professional basketball, the women’s three point line is slightly closer to the basket than men’s. In college basketball in the US, the women also have a closer three point line, use a 30 second shot clock instead of a 35 second clock, and do not have a 10 second back court rule.
