Geez, this old debate again?
Yes, there are some differences between girls HS ball and boys HS ball. I don't think officiating one is any harder than the other... they both have components that are easier/harder than the other.
I officiate both. Some guys only officiate boys basketball. Some of them don't have time to do both...others prefer the speed of the boy's game - in my opinion, those are valid reasons.
Other guys think they are "above" girls basketball. To me, that's silly but no big deal. If that's the way they feel, the girls game is better off without them.
My most enjoyable games last year had the following components: Packed gym. Close game. Good partner. Didn't matter if it was boys or girls.
