Should I have done anything different?

First off I said, "Focus on the ball around the basket, IOW I'm not worrying about GT or BI, so my entire focus is on the players.

Second, I find myself working much lower and more off the sideline as trail when doing the girls, and it's not because I know I risk getting beat back in a boys game, it's because I can since the action is lower and more congested with the girls.
