Several professional leagues have existed, the first of which is the WBL, Women's Professional Basketball League, in 1978.
This league created the use of the women's size basketball. The idea was proposed by Karen Logan, a well known player at the time. She wrote a 3 page proposal to the league telling them that many sports have equipment that is different for different sized people, such as tennis and golf, and that basketball should do the same. She proposed a ball about an inch smaller in diameter. The WBL saw a promotional opportunity and adopted the idea, having Wilson Sporting Goods to manufacture the ball (see Pitts, B. G. 1984.
