long way from the half court days. The old 6 on 6 game. I think a lot of fans don't know what that was. I remember girls teams sometimes having to beg to actually have real uniforms.Here is an old clip from 1973 of Iowa High School State Championship game under the 6 on 6 rules. Also a link to the Granny Basketball League that is for women 50 and older and uses the 6 on 6 rules. They are very popular. It would be great if the W recognized some of the greats from the old 6 on 6 years during half-time at the All star Game. Also a great movie from 2021 titled "New Providence" about 6 on 6 basketball in a small town in Iowa. You can stream the movie. Well worth the time.
