Why make needless differences between men's and women's rulesets?

"[Men's] Coaches will get at least one challenge per game but must have a timeout to use one. A successful challenge means a coach gets another one; if the challenge is unsuccessful, the coach may not challenge another call."

"Women’s coaches won’t need a timeout to challenge a call, but an unsuccessful challenge would lead to a technical foul for the excessive timeout."

The men's and woman's rule book/game are entirely different. So much so that officials chooses men's OR women's basketball (but not both). They should really be treated as different sports. Think softball and baseball, not men's and women's track.

Fair and valid point.

Like softball and baseball, I think those differences are factors that hurt umpire and audience participation such that they should be striving to lessen them, not needlessly expand them.
