We work boys' games in Illinois (reciprocal license) and the nice thing down there is that there are separate assignors for boys and girls. I've worked basketball in Illinois for 4 years (about 10 games a year, mostly in the Rockford area) and have yet to work a girls' game there.
Here the assignors (commissioners) assign both. Therefore, most people work both.

I already realized that. I just find it funny how sensitive people get when we start talking about how bad girl's basketball is. I was just surprised that no one got a conniption with the conversations.
Also some assignors do assign both here. The reality is that many would not dare ask officials to work both. I know many coaches and ADs do not like to see a lot of officials on both sides of the isle. I have said this before and I have taken heat for it. The reality is more Boys’ assignors make you go through huge loopy loops to work in their conferences. There is one Girl's assignor around here that hires a lot of officials without seeing them at camp or requiring officials to be "Certified” as a pre-requisite before they get a varsity game. The Boy's assignors not usually require seeing you during camps, work many years of lower level ball in their conference before you even get a sniff at a bad varsity game.
Peace
