I do agree that you can't make everything equal. But a judge's (or A.D. or whoever is held accountable) job is to enforce the letter of the law as much as possible.
Basketball is a traditionally winter sport for the most part and a 7:30 or 8:00 PM start on a Friday night is the ideal time for a game. If you were a judge and interpreted the ruling to mean that you needed to treat girls ball and boys ball equally, I can see where you might feel a need to split those "prime times" right down the middle.
In our area, I've seen great attendance for the girls games and the boys games when they do a 6 PM/8 PM varsity double-header. The game that draws the most attendance is usually directly proportional to which program (boys or girls) is fielding a winning team that year. I'd guess that 60% of the audience sticks around for both games regardless.
