    Yeah, I think that is exactly it.  That and women don't jump as well as 
men.  On the Collegiate and level and above you see men that can dunk that 
are in the 6-1 to 6-4 level and sometimes even shorter.  Spud Webb was 5-6 
and he could dunk.  You rarely see a woman that can dunk under 6-5.  Because 
the men can dunk it also allows them to play above the rim during 
rebounding, shot blocking, and other things that require the ability to sky. 
That is in no way a putdown of women.  It is just the way men a women are 
physically put together.  I think the women so some things better than men 
such as fundamentals and team work.
