A Missouri coach/area reflects on the grassroots growth of the women's game in Missouri. It's not clear if there's a tinge of bitterness or simply an honest assessment slightly tilted by a writer/editor. But it's nice that the assessment goes beyond "players are bigger, faster and more athletic." For example:

Steinmeyer used to joke that his offense included only two passes per trip down the court, and if there were more than that, the offending player sat on the bench. That’s because he wanted to eliminate turnovers.

“The best way to eliminate turnovers was to shoot, whether you were open or not,” Steinmeyer said.

But that has changed, as well as the level of point guard play.
