OK, let me clearer. I don't mean any offense to anyone.
What game is easier to officiate, a freshman boys game or a varsity girls game? IMO, many girls aren't taught the fundamentals of the game. They don't know that they have to play D instead of just running up and reaching for the ball. The player with the ball doesn't know how to protect the ball so we end up deciding if we have a foul or a held ball. We all know there are many more held balls in a girls' game.
The flip side of this is there is a girls' coach in Vegas that is going for her 4th or 5th straight state title. She teaches her girls on a whole different level and it shows. She has a player named Italy that started as freshman and she can flat out play. I know she was taught the game the right way and she just breezes through games because of it. That is one of many examples.
