Should I have done anything different?

How many HS girls games have you had with plenty of rebounding action at or above rim level?

Girls play horizontal, it's that simple, and that means more contact, more players in the lane after a shot and a lot less focus by the officials on the ball around the basket.

I can usually count on one hand the number of times per game the girls will attack the ball on a rebound and jump and go get it. That is the biggest adjustment I have to make doing both boys and girls games...at times the very next night...is that the basket violations come into play and I have to split my focus more.
