But keep in mind that the key thing is player safety, too. If I see a hard foul, that is getting whistled. But even contact can vary. With the lower levels you can have minimum contact due to lack of skill. Sometimes you let that go. Similarly, with older boys (say JV), you can have a little bumping in the post and that is just part of the game at that skill level. If it were freshman girls, that gets a whistle. JV boys, maybe not. JV boys are just going to be a bit more physical. It is a physical game. And they are stronger. They can handle it. The younger girls, not the same.
Anyway, I hope that helps.
