Rut, I have to disagree with you. I have watched hundreds and hundreds of NBA games in the past 25 years. I have never seen an all black crew in a game. And it's very, very seldom that I see an all white crew. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but it's very rare to see. I believe that the NBA intentionally integrates the crews. And that also happens on the college and high school levels when possible.
No, you don't see women calling very much at the high school level. But there are quite a few of them calling Women's college ball. I would venture that the percentage is close to 50%.
When you consider that, as you just said, men do dominate officiating, it actually is an accomplishment for a woman to call an WNBA All Star game. This is true even though there ranks are growing. My guess is that the original poster sees very few WNBA games and was, therefore, surprised to see two women working the game.
