Pls advice how to switch gear back to tougher games after doing a few easy games.
Please advise why you think boys Varsity games are tougher than girls games.

To begin with they never go above the rim.
...rarely do the Freshman boys "go above the rim" either...does that make their games "tougher" than two quality Varsity Boys teams going at each other?

I say yes! They can be.

My point is this:
It's "tougher" to make a girls game look good...
It's "tougher" to see all the ratty play...
It's "tougher" to have to explain all the situations that lower skilled players seem to get into...
It's "tougher" to have to officiate with a sometimes out of shape, lower level official (i.e. Boys Frosh games)...
It's "tougher" to "get up for these games"...

I have done State Semi-final Basketball...and I have done Freshman boys basketball...Trust me! IMO the Freshman boys basketball was "tougher", for the above reasons. (Well, OK, maybe the State games are tougher physically and mentally but maybe you get my point on the different "toughness" of each game.)Hmmmm, did I just contradict myself?

In conclusion, I agree with JRut...if you don't like doing Girls Basketball...Don't do them! That dosen't necessarily make you a bad person...I know, because I don't do them either!
