Something I learned about women's basketball recently. All the best D1 programs play against male practice teams. Teams like UConn, Tenseness, Duke, etc. They're playing against guys who in most cases aren't good enough to even play college basketball at any level (maybe D3 though). These are guys who were most likely good players at low level local high schools, but not good enough to play college.
They have to put rules in for the male practice team players, no dunking, no alley oops, no blocking shots, because they're trying to simulate women's competition. Otherwise those practice teams would dominate every scrimmage.
Think about it this way. What percentage of 76ers can dunk a basketball? Probably every single one of them. At worst, does any team in the league ever have more than one or two guys that can't dunk? Now think about the greatest WNBA team that could ever be assembled? How many of them can dunk a basketball? As of at least a a few years ago, only 3 players had ever dunked in a WNBA game, and only Britney Griner has done it more than twice. To me, that just shows how much more physically dominate men are than women. Not that women's basketball can't be enjoyed, they just can't match up against men.
Similarly in tennis, back in '98 Venus and Serena Williams challeneged any man ranked 200 or below. So Karsten Braasch (ranked #203) played them one afternoon and killed them 6-1 and 6-2. Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance." He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun."
