Question
In your answer referring to ballsize, you said that the sizes are the same as used in the NBA.

I really think that those balls are smaller, knowing that the balls used in women leagues are often a bit smaller.

Answer
The official WNBA rules state that (quote):

The ball should be an officially approved WNBA ball with a weight not less than 18 ounces nor more than 20 ounces. The circumference of the ball shall be within a maximum of 29 inches and a minimum of 28.5 inches.

(unquote)

The NBA only states (quote)

The ball shall be an officially approved NBA ball between 7 1 /2 and 8 1 /2 pounds pressure.

(unquote),

while Spaulding advertises therir basketballs as "Official NBA full-size" at 29.5 inches.

So I guess you're right. My bad.

Thanks for the tip.
