Miller, Swoopes, Holdsclaw and now Parker are all players that have evolved the game in their own ways, but largely in part because they play "like men". I don't see a problem at all with lowering the rims because the goal is not for every player to be able to dunk the ball. The goal is for lay-ups and shots from close range to become higher percentage shots. If that causes a shift for more of a premium placed on better athletes, so be it. The aforementioned players have already caused some of that movement. There will always be a place for those who can shoot the basketball in this sport, but I wouldn't mind seeing the ladies throw it down a few times a game.
