rut,
dont worry, deep down who really does like to ref girls game for the pure enjoyment! (nobody) myself, i look at these games as a stage to practice for the better games and also everyone has to work these games every now and then, its called paying your dues!

Actually, a good girls game is as much fun as, or more fun than a good boys game to work. The two games, played at their best, are very different, and each had its pleasures. Each game played poorly, is no fun at all. I feel sorry for you, Rut and crew, for not having good girls games in your area. Those of us in Portland are blessed with a very high level of girls bball, because of the challenge presented to teams in the area, by the Oregon City HS team which has been ranked nationally in the top 10 for the last 10 years or so. Because of OCHS, we have many, many very fast, skilled teams locally, and we draw such teams from around the region to our tournaments. It is good for us refs, too, since we get more opportunities to see good girls play, and more practice.
Now if our women's team could do as well (Fire in 2002!!)...
You guys may be good, but until you can do a great girls game, you won't be great. Sorry...
