This is sort of an apology to the woman who held the scoring record before Caitlin. She said that Caitlin didn’t really own the record she did, and many in the press said that she couldn’t stand for a white girl, and they are still saying it but I’m not and the reason is because she explained her issues. Her name is Plum I think but the points she made that changed my mind are two. First when she played there was no 3 point line in women’s basketball. I believe that Caitlin scored over 500 3 point shots in her career and if took 500 points off her total, she wouldn’t have the highest total. And secondly back in her day women used the men’s basketball. Apparently the women now use a slightly smaller and lighter ball. So I do agree that we’re talking apples and oranges. Hell back in my high school days, the girls played with six on each team and two played in one half court and two played in the other half court and they couldn’t stray from their halves. The other two could roam the full court and if I remember correctly they were limited in how many dribbles they could take before having to shoot or pass the ball.

My point is that in setting records you have to consider people that played under the same rules.
