There is one inch between a men's and women's basketball.

Given that Clark routinely is hitting shots from more than 30 feet out, I doubt she'd have much of a problem shooting threes with men's ball.

Something else I was recently made aware of:

College Basketball Hoop Height

When it comes to college basketball, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has slightly different rules for men and women. The NCAA states that the official hoop height for men’s basketball is 10 feet, while the official hoop height for women’s basketball is 9 feet. Again, the NCAA states that the height of the hoop should be measured from the ground to the bottom of the rim.

Ball is 3 percent smaller and 9% lighter. At the elite level of competition, that level is significant.
