One of the reasons why I no longer work a high school schedule. For the most part in my area the girls games get assigned to the old officials who can't keep up with the boys anymore, or the officials who aren't "good enough" to do boys games. Not who I want for a partner in a competitive girls game.
If you have been working high school JV ball on the men's or women's side for 11 years and are working just a few varsity games,(and working varsity's what you aspire to do), you are not doing something right. Great suggestions by everyone as far as going to camp, breaking down game tapes, getting a mentor. But to say if you're not good enough to work the boys - try the women's side is bull to me.
