I think a good official is a good official, no matter which side they work. At the high school level, the mechanics are the same, so I don't see why it would make a great difference if the official on the game works primarily one side or the other. Where I am, we usually have G/B double headers so we don't have the option of choosing which we want to work. In fact we STILL have separate state organizations for each and have to join both to work basketball. Personally, I prefer working the boys. There just seem to be fewer goofy basketball plays because they are bigger and stronger. At the college level, I'm struggling with which way I want to go. I see benefits for me on either side as well as some stumbling blocks on each. I don't have to make that decision yet, but hopefully it will become a bigger issue for me in the near future.
