But I do think it's unhealthy thinking in an organization to say that one has to "move up" from doing girls' basketball.
It isn't a matter of individual preference. It's the wholesale attitude of the organization that we have a problem with.

When a strong majority in any field have a similar order of preferences, that establishes a defacto order of moving up. The more people that desire a given assignment relateive to the available opportunities (of anything, not just basketball) the higher the level. It's all based on preferences, not any absolute or intrinsic value. A level that anyone can get is at the bottom. A level that only a select few achive is at the top. Is it easier to get a girls varsity game than a boys varsity game? Is it easier to get a freshman game than a varsity game? You tell me.
