I think there is a big difference between working men's and women's. The level of play is vastly different. I agree that good officials adjust, but if you call that type of basketball all the time, you will be more ready for the type of basketball you will see. In addition, at the college level, the mechanics are different. Again, good officials adjust, but if you use those mechanics on a nightly basis, it just makes it a better game right from the get go. I think sooner or later, every official is better off working one side or the other at the college level.
