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.

“Now for civil service reform. Legislation must be prepared and executive rules and maxims. We must limit and narrow the area of patronage. We must diminish the evils of office-seeking. We must stop interference of federal officers with elections. We must be relieved of congressional dictation as to appointments.”

“... geometry became a symbol for human relations, except that it was better, because in geometry things never go bad. If certain things occur, if certain lines meet, an angle is born. You cannot fail. It’s not going to fail; it is eternal. I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total. Thus, I’m able to avoid or manipulate or process pain.”
—Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)
“At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
—Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)
