It's a pity that CT only uses 2-man for anything other than the state playoffs. 3-man would keep BillyMac going for longer, whether at the boys or girls levels. It seems very unfortunate that officials are segregated by gender in NCAA basketball, and that lesser officials usually work women's games as compared to men's games, but it is the way it is. I must thus resign myself to a fate of being exclusively a men's official
. I could learn a lot from both games, but I believe that choosing men's basketball would be the better choice long-term. I won't be fast-tracked in women's basketball, and I can learn the NBA mechanics doing pro-am, so women's basketball won't have any real advantages for me.
