In CO, most officials will do both. I don't know of any who absolutely refuse one or the other. That said, my preference is girls ball. I have worked six varsity level girls games in one day(summer tournament). I don't think I could have done six boys varsity level games on that day. In fact, when I came back the next day they had me lined up for four boys games and I turned them back for some girls games. When I had a chance to do same level, I called one and that was it. I was totally spent.
As I had a chance to talk to Ron Pilo about this issue. I told him. I wouldn't have started officiating if it wasn't for the boys but it is the girls that have kept me going.
So past the endurance part. I will watch WNBA on TV but not NBA. I think girls play better fundimental basketball. And finally the best game I ever called: Girls Junior High 2A 27-28 final score.
