I have second-hand knowledge, from individuals directly involved on both the officiating and assigning sides, at both the local high school and women's junior college levels (shared with me in confidence at both levels), that those conversations and statements do and are happening, still, as recently as the last two seasons. So it does still happen. Maybe not everywhere, but in some places. And to be clear, I'm referencing head coaches openly stating to assignors and officials that they do not want women officials on their games.
