Yes. It is different. On average.

Boys can "play through" contact that sends some female players to the floor. Contact that puts a female player at a disadvantage can cause no disadvantage at all to a male player. On average.

In this area, some girls coaches have a different expectation, too, and right or wrong, it changes how games are called by some officials. They prefer "contact = foul" and some officials call the games that way. Not me.
