Why, because the coaches and assignors do not want to see the same kind of game called.

I can adjust. It's not that hard. I must be amazing. A legend in my own mind. :D

It is not about adjustment, it is about preference. If you like doing both, knock yourself out. When I watch sports, choose an ice cream to each or go to a particular restaurant to spend my money, I go where I want to go. It is called life. In life we have many choices and not working Girl's basketball is a choice I decided to make long time ago and I am happy with that choice.

Everyone works both. Some of us will work 75-80% boys games, but we still get assigned girls games and are expected to work them.

What do turn backs have to do with this issue?

Of course turn backs are frowned upon. That seems to be the case everywhere. No one here is just turning back games. You work for who you want to work for. If you do not want to work for them, you do not give them information to have them hire you. If I do not want to work for someone, I do not go to their camp or accept games from them. Or you choose to work one or the other side because an assignor is not going to give a "girl's official" games. We are independent contractor here. No one can make us do anything.

Once again you miss the point.

We register with one organization.

We do not solicit games, we cannot choose boys or girls games.

So those that feel girls game are beneath them, turn them back at their own risk.

Of course we all know in the great state of Illinois only the good officials work boys.:rolleyes:

You are right I did miss your point.

We do not solicit games either. What is your point to say that? We can belong to as many associations we want to or none at all if we choose to. Associations are only there for training, not assigning purposes.

We work for assignors not associations. Assignors usually look for newer officials to work for them through camps or they go to meetings looking for people that might want to work for them.

I guess it sucks to be you.

The part that I was talking about is how boys and girls are assigned. I started officiating in Arizona and unless there was a big change, the boys games are considered to be officiated by the better officials. I will call my friend that still lives in the Phoenix area to see if this has been changed.
