I am under the impression the schools want it that way. Or at the very least the boy's coaches do not want to see officials that cannot handle basketball on the boy's side. If the schools had a problem with this, they would hire a supervisor for both genders most of the time. And since we are also independent contractors, no one can make anyone work games we do not want to work. This is not done without their direction. The entire system is in the hands of the schools anyway. They must feel it works for them. Unlike most places in the country, official's associations have no say in how games are assigned in any fashion. Even the nights the schools play each gender is in their hands. We do not tell them to hold boy's games on certain nights and times and girl's games at other times or not to do double headers. Schools have and could change this tomorrow.
