Duke coach Kara Lawson directs the team during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Wake Forest on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023, in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Duke coach Kara Lawson said her team played with a men’s basketball for the first half of a loss to Florida State last Sunday.
FSU kicked a** with both size ball an now Duke all mad u lost both games 🤣 taketheL
I didn’t know y’all had it easier
So lame. And how come she didn’t check or know as the coach?
So again women can’t ever be men we are different
And where were you coach? Always someone else’s fault
So both teams had the same 'handicap' but yours lost. Stop the icessant whining about imaginary issues.
Hmm. 'We want equality to Men' is the battle cry but we agree to play with a lesser size and weight ball. OK I think?
Did the other team that won also use the ball in question...
Hummmm! I thought that BOTH teams use the same ball.
The worst is when the home team deflates your ball..
i thought each team had their own ball? Doesn't it switch when they change possessions
But equal rights tho
I’ve been told that there is no different in men and women, so why do they have different size balls?
Each coach has the ability to check the game ball before a game the coach could have checked before and during for her to bring this up after is not reasonable
Both teams had the issue. She’s bitching cus she lost. Maybe she should practice what she preaches and “handle hard better…” 😳🤷🏻♂️😳 FSU sure did! NCAA
Equality
I didn’t even realize that there’s a difference. I’ll be damned
She is right, no one cares what happens in Women's basketball. The entire womens league is just a diversity tax on the men's league.
If men and women are so equal why do THEY need a women’s basketball?
Same ball for both teams, right?
No chance. No refs caught it? No prayers on FSU? No one said a word? Sounds ridiculous.
🚨BREAKING - US President Joe Biden is headed home for vacation in Wilmington, Delaware tonight while a CHINESE spy balloon still flies over the country.
The Blue Devils were 7 for 34 opening 20 minutes They were 12 for 38 in the second half. Florida State made 10 of its 30 shots in the first two quarters and 14 of 31 in the second half. Doesn't matter what ball was used. Both teams are 💩
Most ridiculous thing I've see this week
...isn't that...just...a basketball?
No way this happened. Soon as you pick up a basketball you can tell if it’s a girls ball. The girls woulda noticed it after the first shot they woulda never waited until halftime to complain. They shot bad couldn’t be because of defense had to be something else. FSU shot bad too
I guess you really don’t want equality.
Yesssss...
Did she assume the balls gender?
Both teams used the same basketball, no advantage either way!
That means the other team did too
Whose fault was it that no one realized it was the wrong ball until halftime?
It's ridiculous (but on-brand) that Lawson of presents this mistake as a gender issue. It's most likely (if not a certainty) an honest mistake that affected *both* teams. But as a former basketball player, I can't imagine HOW the PLAYERS did not notice.
I am more confused than ever! So does size matter or not? Quit sending mixed messages.
2023 woke culture: There are no Genders, but pronouns, it's a non-binary ball being used in a sport featuring she/hers using his/him ball. Such confusion
Sorry, but anyone, and I mean anyone, who plays, coaches, or officiates basketball at this level immediately knows the difference between the men’s and women’s basketball. It’s unbelievable that this happened.
Women want to be equal to men right? Then equal in every way means using the same basketball. Get over it.
You mean both teams played with a men’s basketball?
1: I had no idea there were gendered basketballs 2: maybe they should keep using men's basketballs so they get used to them 3: wasn't FSU using the same ball?
Women's basketball should play with the same ball and the same 3-pt line before they ask everyone to treat their sport the same as the men's.
Who cares
😂😂
so both teams used the same ball? gotcha.
That means Florida State played with a men’s basketball for the first half of their win against Duke last Sunday.
Perhaps it identified as a woman's basketball?
Illinois men played with a women's ball for 7 minutes in 2010.
Woops
Did Florida State play with the same ball?
Is this a hoax too like the race hoax last year?
As long as it identified as a women’s ball I don’t see a problem.
I thought there was no difference between the sexes, so why do they need a *women’s* basketball?
First time most players have touched…
So men and women are not equal? Use different equipment?
Fascist Republicans are passing laws to keep men’s balls out of women’s sports. Glad to see the NCAA is allowing it.
I thought they wanted equality?
Both teams same ball
So?
In other news Florida State used a men's basketball for the first half of a big win over Duke last Sunday.
That's why each team gets to inspect the ball before the game. Seems like neither team did a good job with that.
How can we be sure it wasn't a transwoman basketball?
Equal pay but not equal balls?
There's a different sized ball for women?!
ClayTravis 😂
Quite moaning about ball-sizes. This sandwich ain’t gonna make itself.
Didn't know there was such a thing.
Lol why would there be a difference? They want the same pay don't they?
Good thing she don't coach the Swim Team, she'd probably have a stroke at the unfairness!
So just hoop
Wait, what?
How did a player from either team not notice this the first time they touched the ball. Plus, a women's ball clearly says 28.5 on the ball. She's just making a scene now.
Wait they have different balls too? Lmao
Karen who?
And FSU wasn't using it at same time 🙄🏀
Hoopers hoop shut up
Wouldn’t both teams have used the same ball?
