Read this book excerpt and then tell us what you think.

Note how the rules differ from men's basketball and make your own inferences.

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "<I>women's basketball rules</I>" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking

It is often viewed as a sexist term, "girls rules". Some of the contents of those rules were sexist, such as unform requirements. At any rate, they have largely disappeared.
