Tomegun, I think you are going a tad apples and oranges here.

I've have seen plenty of cases where a well coached girls frosh team is far easier to officiate than a poorly coached
boys varsity team.

Every level and sex, has different challenges. Coaching and school size also plays a role.

I think the point is, and I agree, that while the game is faster and getting into position becomes more difficult, varsity players are farther along than the lower levels in running offenses and defenses.

The game has better flow. Plays can be more easily anticipated, so getting the good look becomes easier. There are far fewer times where I need to instruct a player in what they did wrong. Coaches are more used to short communications and don't tend to dwell on one call as long.
