A basketball is not a basketball is not a basketball.
It depends on whose rules you are playing under.
In the NBA, the diameter is between 9.4 inches to 9.5 inches as measured around the channels.
In the NCAA (men's) , the diameter is between 9-7/16 inches and 9-1/2 inches, with a maximum diameter of 9-9/16 inches.
And to make things even more confusing, the Federation of International Basketball Associations requires that basketballs be 9 3/4 inches in diameter.
In general men's basketballs are between 9-3/8 inches and 9-9/16 inches in diameter.
Women's basketballs are between 9- 1/16 inch to 9-7/32 inch in diameter.
For all the different ball sizes, the hoop diameter is a constant 18 inches in diameter.
