I still don't understand the facilities argument. Isn't volleyball an indoor sport that also requires a gym? How is it not a problem with
VB and Basketball but a problem for basketball and basketball? Where I was at, we only had one gym so it didn't matter how the seasons were aligned, there would be a facility problem either way.
The officiating seems to be a state problem. The way I have seen in worked, the boys and girls play double-headers. One crew of officials work BOTH jv games and then antother crew works BOTH varsity games. In that case there is no argument about quality because it is the same refs for both.
