The assignors will agree with you and I. So will some ADs. But the ADs and principals will do what's politically correct because they and the parents of girls basketball players don't understand (or refuse to admit, or don't care) that boys and girls play different games.
Right now, with separate seasons, most Michigan officials work both boys and girls basketball. Because there's no overlap, you can adjust your officiating - the degree of contact you can tolerate - pretty easily. As a result, both boys and girls are used to seeing high-caliber officials.
