From what I understand, that will be changing in Michigan next year.

A lot of people are waiting anxiously to see what happens, not just game officials. I'm not going to go on record with my personal opinions or hopes, but instead address some of the logistical issues that will have to be confronted with the season switchover:

A number of coaches here either coach boys and girls HS basketball or HS girls and College women's basketball. Something that will end if this is upheld. We recently had a coach successfully sue to be the coach of both the boys and girls HS teams, and now this person will likely have to choose one over the other, making the suit all for naught (except for the principals and legalities of the case).

I've been in a unique position where I can do stats for HS girls in the fall and College Men/Women in the winter. I've already told my HS Coaching Friend that with a season switch, I immediately retire from the HS level. (I have been invited to start doing college volleyball games at the college I do basketball games for now, so I'm anticipating that happening a year from now, barring anything unforseen)

While I'm sure the MHSAA will do what it can to make the transition as smooth as possible, there will be a lot of logistics to iron out in terms of coaches, officials, and game crew.
