Actually I was just attempting to show the progress I made this season (due to your helping me grow). Here in CO, the new officials start out with girls varsity ball & get the boys once they prove they can handle girls... I didn't make the rule, it's just the way it is HERE.
Hell, the few women officials here prefer to work boys games as well. I was just simply pointing out that I worked mostly girls during the regular season & must've did something right in the assignors eyes to get 3 boys post-season games my first time out the gate.

FTR, I give the same effort for any level/gender game I work. That's probably the main reason I got an opportunity so quickly.

The main thing was to thank the board for helping me grow & develop into a half-way decent official... yourself included Juulie! I learned from you as well, I read your articles & implemented some of the things you speak about into my game. Nothing but love for you & Womens Basketball!!

So thanks once again for teaching me things that can't be learned from a rulebook!

You're welcome.
