In all the leagues I have ever reffed (or coached) I can only remember seeing one female doing a boys 13/15 age group....let alone at the BV level. I still believe it is unusual.

Probably varies by region, but I agree it's unusual. Not wrong or immoral, just unusual.
 I've never seen it any level beyond YMCA. That said, BktBallRef is probably right. I'm sure there are "many" who think there are only one or two of these situations in the country.

I used to know an small college whose men's squad had a female coach.
We have a female boy's varsity coach in my area. She was the girls coach up until last year, and applied when the boys job was open to do both (since htis was before our big season switch), she was denied, sued, and won the chance to do both, or keep one and get settlement money. She chose both and passed on the money. But for 2 years now, she's done just the boys.

The boys sophomore coach at my local school is a woman.

Some of the woman coaches I've seen are more manly than my partner! ('ll print this out for him and give it to him at our next game since he doesn't log on here).

The Constitution State
We had a female coaching a public high school boys varsity basketbasll team about 15 years ago in the northwestern part of Connecticut. I believe it was at Litchfield High School.
In the Catholic middle school league, that I officiate in on my free nights and weekends, we have several females coaching boys teams from fourth grade through eighth grade. A side note, also in the Catholic Middle School league, we have a boy playing, he's a starter, with a prosthetic leg. It takes him a little bit longer to accelerate, and decelerate, than the other players, but otherwise, you wouldn't know he was playing on onewnatural leg.

I hear what you are saying and it is no utopia down under.There was for a very long time the glass ceiling-which is why I work so much with young officials as well as the older ones.I am just trying to make things different for them-you had to be tough skinned and tenacious to come through the ranks in the 80's The sad thing is I am still giving the skirts down knickers up talk to female officials-reminding them that anything they do in a social situation will be remembered long after their ability to officiate.Unlike their male counterparts. We (local association) regularly run female only workshops to bring them together from all over NZ and provide topics pertinent to our experiences of reffing. Anytime anyone is travelling (male or female)get in touch we always have games for you to work especially over your summer?
