My son was an all-conference HS basketball player in iowa, 6-4 good shooter, average jumps, good ball handler. He was chosen with 6 other guys to practice against the Iowa Womens's team in 2006 - 2009. Iowa's women were pretty good then and went to the NCAA tourney a couple of times. My son said they would absolutely smoke the women when they let them scrimmage....said he was one of the taller guys on the team, and he blocked 7 shots in a short scrimmage because the coach got on the guys for not really playing all that hard. He said he felt badly sometimes for setting hard screens and knocking down the ladies, but that is what the women's coach wanted. He said just with those guys, who only played together when they were picked, would destroy the women's team, not even close. I'd say an AVERAGE 4A team from iowa would dismantle the women's team from Uconn by 10 -20 pts. My son said the women were excellent shots, but if you guarded them, you could stop them, they didn't have the athletic ability, foot quickness, or just all out speed to to create a shot, or jump high enough to out-rebound the guys. My son said he could basically get a rebound whenever he wanted. Just sayin...
