So I am supposed to like something because you like it. When I started officiating, I was not even thinking of working any girl's basketball at all. I wanted to be in the NBA, which later I decided would not be for me. There was no WNBA when I started and you could hardly find a D1 Women's game on TV. My focus was only Boy's or Men's basketball until I was not given a chance to work those games. You are not going to change my feelings because you have a problem with what I prefer doing. It is not going to happen. If you want that to change, get more women that never played any sports to officiate games. Then you will not have to worry about who officiates the girls game or not. I would never hinder any female from officiating anything they are qualified to do. But you cannot tell me that every male that grew up playing is thinking women's basketball is the way to go.
Peace
