I would like to think I give the same effort in the girls game as a I do for the boys (even though much of the girls basketball in my area is absolutely brutal). I have been in pregames though where officials will say "I don't rotate much in the girls game to save energy for the boys" or something to that effect. Is that right? I guess it depends on how you look at it, but that's a cost when you make officials work two games. If the powers-that-be viewed it as such a problem then they would have done something about it, but again there's just no desire to change the status quo, so to speak. I'm not willing to give up a significant amount of money to work half as many games over the course of a season, and we struggle with competence and politics enough as it is in this state. Simply not enough quality officials to move away from the current model IMO.
