I'm done on Thursday. Girls sectional (round of 16). We select the R here, but I'm more than happy to be Bono or the Edge (U2) for this game. One it's tapped, it doesn't matter who I am, really. I'm always an "R" on the court |

I know I prefer working Boys HS b-ball over Girls HS b-ball anyday of the week. But if I were a college volleyball official I would rather work Women's games.
In my HS association there are "big dawgs" who do not work any girls games. Our latest top female official did drop out the board after last season partially b/c she wasn't getting any boys games. She's an NCAA-W official who had already work conference tournaments for 2 different D2's and this season will be working a D1 conference tournament.

If she can successfully work D1 women's, she should at least be given a shot at the HS varsity level on the boys side. If she isn't getting games cause she's female (and it sounds like that could be the case here), it's as despicable as what happened to that female official in Kansas. |

The issue is not what levels you have worked, it is do you understand the customs of the level you are assigned. There are college officials on the Men's side that do not understand how to work a high school game and do not work that level at all. Peace

And, yeah, you guys don't get it. It has to be blatant discrimination before you see it. You don't see the subtle stuff. Rita |

Anyhow, I'm not picky. And I don't buy Jeff's argument when it comes to the HS level. I've called plenty of goaltending and basket interference in my day and until I got to the boys varsity level, rarely had to make those calls. What's the difference between me and that female official? Either she will nail those calls or she won't. Either she'll work like the other officials or she'll wash out like anyone ELSE given the opportunity. Anyone who moves to the college level and can't get a decent HS schedule, well, there's something wrong with the assignors then. |
