If she worked a D1 Men's game that does not automatically qualify you to work a HS varsity game. And I have seen some Boy’s HS varsity games that were much more physical than any college game on the Women’s side and I do not regularly see women jumping up above the rim.

The issue is not what levels you have worked, it is do you understand the customs of the level you are assigned. There are college officials on the Men's side that do not understand how to work a high school game and do not work that level at all.
