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).

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 officiated a game a couple weeks ago, and the frosh. boys coach was a female... real nice lady too for a change. didnt complain like most of the female coaches i run into... this one was quiet, and when i told her what I saw, she said okay, and dropped it... I almost thought she was a zombie or somethin

Wow!

There are several derogatory remarks toward women in this thread.

And I'll bet you all can't even see it.

Interesting thread.NZ has probably about 1/3 female coaches that coach boys/mens teams.Don't know that its that big a deal to comment on for us.

We have had players from the Northern hemispher who play as imports in our National League who have really struggled with female refs.One guy said"you're cute honey what do I call you"?reply?-Ma'am or ref

NZ is about 50/50 female /male refs.Although in the League only about 1/3 are female.
.The local ref association is run by the women,the appointments,the ref coaching and the NZNBL ref evaluators are all women.

I had a guy ask me, "Why do we have a female ref?" It was about a year after Violet Palmer had started in the NBA. I said, "So when you get into the NBA, you'll be used to it." He had to think about it.

PS I have also noticed you around the forum, Karin. Perhaps we've got a trend going? Someone tell Oatmealqueen we would welcome her back, too!

Ft. Campbell, Ky has a lady coaching the mens team, she made the region several years ago and does a good job.

A flair for the obvious. Why would you even mention that it wasn't?
