Obviously Peter does not call softball or girls basketball. I call basketball and parents and coaches are 10 times worst than the boys. Every basketball offical I know would rather call little kids than girls basketball.
Nationally, it is quite typical that boy's high school basketball and girl's high school are called differently. They are different games, not unlike Men's and Women's games in NCAA. Call the H.S. girls' game much tighter, in particular call more contact.
For 7-8 years, D11 Michigan Tech women outdrew the MTU Men in basketball. Winning teams draw fans. Both teams are winning of late.

Softball is just as bad from what I have been told repeatedly. The fact that is "Daddy's little girl" out there is the basis for it on top of the fact that there is such a push to cram womens sports down our throats by the media.
In this area, Women's ASA Fastpitch softball is one of the most pleasant diamond games. The athletes are on the field to play well and to win. Cursing, thrown equipment and glares are replaced by shrugs, batters tapping their helmets with their bats, ... and more shrugs. Ejections are unheard of.
