I believe that Chuck, Rut, and the other very good officials that posted, NEED to do these games. They need your experience and knowledge.
BTW, the caliber of the girl's ball in my area is pretty good, lots of big schools.
My attitude is "A game is a game, and every game deserves the best officials calling it". JMHO
What I do not understand and will never understand, why do I or other officials have to do what you do to be happy? So you assume that your area has better girl's basketball than mine, a claim I never made. And because of the greatness of your area of basketball is going to somehow change my mind on what is girl's basketball. NOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!

Sorry to disappoint but I have a preference. I have attended the Big Ten Men's Tournament for the past 4 years no matter where it was located. I have never attended the Women's side of the Big Ten Tournament, there is a reason that is. I do not enjoy the game. I would rather sit and home a play March Madness 2003 and waste (yes I said waste) my time trying to watch a game I do not enjoy. Every game does not deserve the best officials, but the best officials that want to be there. I cannot do a service to a game I do not enjoy on many levels. But we live in this PC world and think that everyone has the same likes. I know many officials that have no desire to officiate Men's or Boy's basketball, I never try to suggests they need to give up girl's ball to do a boy's game.

Peace
Rut..
I was trying to give you a compliment, and you inserted way more verbage than I intended. I guess that'll teach me.
