And it will happen because the parents of girls basketball players rightfully will complain loudly (to the coaches, ADs, principals and school boards, if necessary) if their children get stuck with lousy officials while the boys get the good ones.

You cannot make someone work a type of ball they do not want to work. I do not care how much these individuals complain. I do know of many situations where boy's officials do not call the game the same as the "normal" Girl's officials do and the coaches get really upset. It is a different game to call a game where kids are playing above the rim and kind of physical, to a game where if a girl is touched in the post the coaches are livid because there is not a foul call. One of the reasons I do not call girl's games is because I get much more grief because I do not call the touch fouls that are expected on that side of the game.
