i officate in michigan primarily mid-eastern area around saginaw/bay city and the thumb area...we are being told that unless the courts reverse their decision that the season for the girls will change to match the boys...most assigners and athletic directors are preparing for both scenarios...problems arise with the different conferences scheduling the games on different days and times where non-league crossover games causing the most problems...many smaller schools will have problems with practice times due to 4 games a week seeing that they only have 1 gym...some are scheduling girls/boys contests the same day and many believe that the girls will suffer in crowd participation...change never comes easy and all of the afore mentioned problems can be corrected but at what cost...an often unmentioned problem will be getting good table help with 4 games a week versus 2 games a week. i look forward to the increased games on my scedule and the possibily of moving up the ladder.
