So why are the rules different do you know.

I think you need to be specific. The rules where I live are exactly the same for boy's and girl's basketball. The rules at the college level change. Now what you might have is a league or two that uses NCAA rules in some form. If that is the case the NCAA had decided to use some different rules and mechanics from an official's standpoint. The reason why is not something all of us are going to be able to answer here. There of course are many theories to why they are different, but the easiest explanation is the NCAA Committee has a Men's Rules Committee and a Women's Rules Committee. When you have two separate committees, you are going to have different points of view of what is important and what is not important.
