STEVEN CHEN: Men’s games are more physical than women’s games. True
SCOTT BOWEN: “It’s probably true. They’re both contact sports. Obviously they’re not collision sports like football, but the physical-ness is going to be more boy-heavy because boys are bigger and stronger, but both games are physical.”

SC: Women respond better to coaching.False
SB: “I guess the biggest difference is personality between boys and girls, but it doesn’t have anything to do with being coached or not. What I found is kids are kids and there are some kids that respond really well to coaching and there are some kids that don’t. I don’t think there’s a gender bias. Here at Carmel, we’ve got a lot of very coachable kids.”

SC: Women’s games tend to have less action than the men’s games. True
SB: “(For both) boys and girls games you’re going to see physical contact. Both you’re going to see physical contact. You probably will not see dunking in a girl’s game. There has been an occasion when girls have dunked, if you consider that action. As far as the game? I mean, it’s basketball.”
