As someone who works under different codes for BV and GV (NFHS vs. NCAAW modified) it's not a case of "oh I can't get boys assignments so I'm going to work girls." I worked boys only and had a good schedule but just wanted more games so I started doing girls' ball. If you can call a game, you can call a game. Dealing with the rules differences is more a speed bump than a road block.

In college it's as much a matter of assignors/supervisors don't want you doing both.
