Hey coach just rested her starters after this type of scheduling claiming it was unfair to her players yet in the NBA for a search I did they do these type of back-to-back games about 16 times a season either this coach is on to something that the NBA should figure out or perhaps women just aren't up to the strenuousness of the games which is just another indication that men and women are different

Women have babies. That's a harder thing than any man has ever done.

Becky Hammon rested her starters in protest of the league's schedule, just as NBA coaches have done from time to time. The Aces were on the road against three of the best teams in the league in four days. Given the standings, and the way the Aces are structured, a loss is not critical.

Also note that the three players rested will be on the USA World Cup team, playing overseas while the rest of the league takes time off. All three are older players.

But still, the ridiculous claim that women "aren't up to the strenuousness of the game" is offensive, and given the circumstances -- which you were clearly unaware of -- is simply dumb.

If want to troll female athletes, go to another forum.

Your post was a timesaver, thanks...
Thee controversy over "back to backs" in the NBA goes back years, and I am pretty sure affects the schedule makers right now. That it has come up in the women's game isn't all that shocking to me...

In the NBA, on back to back games you won't see the starters play in one game. Watch the Warriors and see how many games Green and Steph play in.

Thanks, Clay; that reminds me why I muted the LW at some point. (Childbirth, like old age, ain't for sissies.)

Anyone who's posting things like this should be banned. It's a total violation of the purpose of the forum.

I was going to watch that game, but decided not to when I saw the starting line-ups. So they should probably eliminate those back-to-back games if they cannot provide the competition that fans are expecting to see.
