I'm wondering why the aversion to calling the girls game. It can't just be general talent level, or you'd be refusing boys games with two bad teams and maybe even accepting girls games with two good ones. I'm genuinely curious as to the reasons.
(Personal experience, and this is likely an over-exaggeration, but the JH and HS boys coaches around here are FAR tougher to deal with than the JH and HS girls coaches).

Personally, I enjoy working both boys and girls basketball. However, I think they're basically two different games which happen to share rules. The mind set for officiating them are completely different. Requiring referees to do both is akin to requiring all baseball umpire to do softball as well. Some will enjoy it while others will seek to only do one or the other.
