Just An Observation

It's not just that he thinks they're lower quality. It's the tone in the voice as he said it. And comparing varsity to 7th grade. It's possible that they have the feeling he really doesn't want to do girls' varsity anyway.

And he does not have a right to that opinion?

I think his feelings on this are not in line with the result that someone might have gotten an opportunity they did not deserve. I know that my personal feelings have very little to do with whether or not I get playoff games on the girl's side. All I have to do is make myself eligible or not and I have the opportunity to work girl's post season games. But I would still be a little miffed if someone got an opportunity that they were not technically eligible for. This is not about whether or not he likes Girl's basketball. This is about whether the system that he is under is fair. I still do not know the answer to that.

I haven't heard anything. But I did read the OP.

I couldn't care less about the poster's complaining. I'm simply wondering why the state would give an official with one varsity game a playoff game. I see no reason to not believe that portion of the story.

I really don't know where you and 26 year gap bought these computers that allow posters to hear what a person posts on a discussion board but I must get one!

Juulie, like it or not, varsity girls basketball in some areas is no better than 7th grade boys basketball. If I had to work only girls basketball, I'd quit.
