In high school basketball, boys and girls play by the same rules.
In college basketball, money is involved and the folks in charge do what they think is necessary.
Why is everybody hung up on what's easier? What does it matter if it's easier or not? The same officials do not call men and women's basketball. It's a completely different group of officials. There's no need for it to be "easier."
It's just not that difficult. I officiate quite a bit of girls AAU ball. They play by Women's NCAA rules. I have yet to whistle a 10 second violation or a 5 second call while dribbling. It just ain't that hard.
BTW, welcome to the board.
