I have to say something Jrut - your post frankly offends me. Blowouts? Montrose Christian HS boys team currently has an AVERAGE margin of victory over 60 points per game - guess they must be a girls team in disguise, or simply playing girls teams. Poor coaching, poor support for girls ball - it is a problem because some schools put no resources into girls ball. So lets give these girls substandard officials, timers, gyms, supervision etc. to keep it on a par with their coaching. Let's make sure that everything is bad for them simply because some people at some schools still don't see a value in their girl's sports programs.
I used to coach boys and now coach exclusively girls. There are definitely differences in the two (definitely more tie-ups in gball!). But my girls show up for every game and compete, much more than I can say for half the boys I coached. I had to bench my entire starting line-up for lack of effort on more than one occasion with my boys. In two years and over 150 games, only done that once with my girls. We run offenses, press breaks, presses, organized half-court defenses, inbounds plays, laned fast breaks - this is not an issue of the players but the coaches. My son's middle school team never ran an organized offense or defense all year last year because most of the players didn't care and the coach couldn't get it done. Even my rec teams were more organized.
You have always stated your opposition to reffing girls games, so please stay off the court with that attitude. But don't blame it on the girls.
