Those that feel they are too good to work girls and turn back these games, don't usually see any boys games come state tournament time.

Well, some states only play one or the other on certain nights. Some states tried that same night crap and it did not work. For example a conference tried the Girl's first and Boy's second formula. No one would show up for the Girl's games and everyone would show up for the Boy's games. So they changed the order and had Boy's games first and the Girl's games second. Then everyone showed up for the Boy's game and would empty the gym for the Girl's games.
Also, some states have playoffs going on at completely different times. If you want to work both, it is not very likely. You better choose if you want to go deep into the playoffs. You cannot be at two places at the same time. In some states it is not an issue of being too good; it is an issue of not being able to work both. Also, the more experienced and better officials work Boy's basketball. They will let anyone in my state work a Girl's game. In my second year of officiating I had 40 varsity girl's games without pursuing them.
BTW.......my comments were a joke.
