Boys' and girls' basketball are completely different animals. While I enjoy both, they have very different styles of play, and they require different refereeing attitudes.
I think the best solution is not to force good girls' officials to work boys' games or vice versa, but to specialize (from HS varsity on), and encourage good officials to join the girls' track (there are obviously many who wish to join the boys' track). Unfortunately, this is tough as boys' basketball is far superior and far more popular than girls' basketball in many regions of the country.
