There is no good reason for the definitions to be different, the penalties for infractions to be different, or the protocols to be different. Of course you can dispense with elements of the protocols as the level dictates (we already do that with NFHS rules for some types of games anyway).

I never said it was not easy. Of course they all "could come together and do that, but that is not going to happen.

You make it sound like everything about Men's and Women's basketball is exactly the same. They clearly are not the same. The expectations of the coaches are not the same. They way the game is played is not the same. The style of play is the same. Why would you expect the rules to be the same? Maybe this is why they do not allow officials to work both games.

Once again the level of difficulty is not the issue. It is not going to happen because they do not want it to. That is not automatically a bad thing.
