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.
