There are refs out there who don't feel that girls games are automatically lower level, and some of us who have respect for the girls games do post on this board. It's not just one way of thinking.

What about the female officials that get fast-tracked to the highest level of the women's game? I know 3 officials who worked the girls state tournament, each having less than 5 years of experience. I officiated regular-season games with 2 of them -- one was good, but nothing special on the court and the other was a terrible on-court official who hung me out to dry. Still, they got the fast-track to the state tourney while officials with 20+ years experience who happen to be white males AND better on-court officials wait for the call that will likely never come.
You OK with that?
If and when I ever work a state tourney, I'll know that I earned that call.
