If a coach points out that he or she is being relegated to second class facilities, common sense justice (which, unfortunately, fails to exist in most cases these days) from my athletic director's office would dictate the following: Whoever draws the higher attendance and higher concession sales during the season gets first crack at the bigger gym for practice.
That doesn't wash at the high school level and it certainly isn't justice. Female athletes deserve the same amenities as male athletes. This isn't Taliban controlled Afghanistan is it?

One of the main reasons I also officiate girls basketball is that I think they deserve the same quality officials as boys basketball. I strive to make just as many awful calls in girls games as I do in the boys games.
