Z,
This has nothing to do with one coach. This example was to show the prevailing attitude of Girl's coaches and those associated with Girl's basketball. I could give many more examples, but we do not have that kind of time.

Boy, that really is too bad. I'm sure glad I don't see that attitude around here. That would really suck to have to work for such an ignorant assignor and group of coaches. Because we have a shot clock for girls games here in Washington, the officials who do both have far better clock awareness in boys games than the officials who only do boys games. They also seem to have more patient whistles.

I would not call that ignorant, I would call that the way it is. There is a reason you do not see Ed Hightower or Ted Hillary do not work Women's games. I would not call it ignorance, I would call that coaches and administrations do not want to see officials that are not specialized in one side over another. Let us face it, they are very different. And if you think they are not, how many GT violations have you called working Girl's games?
Peace
