When I work girls games, I get many more coaches who want every bit of contact called as a foul and typically coach behavior is unpredictable and more likely to result in me having to take care of business than when I work boys games.

If someone more politically correct wishes to put a better spin on it, go right ahead. But officials shouldn't feel forced to work girls ball just cause they want and like working boys ball.

Well I live in the land of political correctness and well I never consider the truth to be politically incorrect. Between your post and Jrut's post a light bulb came on for me. People shouldn't be forced to work games they don't want to and it's all good. For myself I hope to someday be able to be like the zebraman and ref girls because they deserve good officials too. Not ref them because that is all I am qualified to do......
