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.

I do not consider myself a high-caliber official. That is for other people to decide. But I am considered to be a Boy's Official. I do not get assigned girls games. And those that ask me to, ask me to work games that first week of the basketball season when the Boy's are not yet allowed to be playing games yet. If I lived in Michigan I would not have a lot of problem working Girls games in the fall. But that would change if I had a choice in the winter. Do not be surprised if officials choose up sides.
