It also must be noted that women's mechanics are rather different than men's mechanics. There were people using the wrong mechanics for the wrong gender because they were used to what was done. Officials even at the high school level get stubborn about what they are doing. And in this case officials that were used to working mostly women's games would refuse to do men's mechanics when assigned. That did not go over very well with many coaches or even fellow officials. So in the end, that assignor lost that league on both sides and the two different assignors would never think to use one of the other officials. And if as an official on the men's side you are working a women's game and that is found out, you might as well end your men's career, unless you are just filling in for someone not showing up or something like that.
