Depending upon your area your suggestion may not be possible to implement. I can tell you that in Nevada you have to do both or you get nothing.
I think this is a mistake on the part of the association and its assignors because rather than having someone who is thrilled to be there reffing the girls' game, you will get people with negative attitudes and total apathy for the game.
In many cases the problem is further exacerbated in Northern Nevada by the schools themselves. (Las Vegas does the schedule differently and more intelligently IMO.) They insist on scheduling the GV and BV games back to back at one site. This double-header is preceeded by a jv or frosh game. The other school hosts the remaining three lower level games. They do this to attract bigger crowds for the varsity games.
Since most officials do not like to go to a gym for only one HS game, one crew of three is often given both varsity games. The problem attitude that this creates is "don't run too hard in the girls' game, so we will have energy left for the boys' game."
It also tends to keep the majority of the varsity assignments in a small circle of officials.
