I had much the same conversation with some officials last weekend. We came to the conclusion that it has to do with boys being able to play through more contact (advantage/disadvantage) than most girl players. This topic came up because I worked a couple of 1A games over the weekend after working a couple of weeks of 3A basketball. My crew and I probably looked terrible to the 1A fans, players, and coaches because a lot of contact we were used to passing on, looked like a horrible collision with 1A players. We had a hard time adjusting and didn't feel as though we worked a very good game. As always, the better the players, the easier it is for us to call the game. Also, speaking in generalities here of course, it seems that most boys teams eventually figure out what we are calling and aren't. In girl's games it seems that they don't adjust as well throughout the game.
