Send me a PM and I might be able to confirm that for you.

I think the games are so different that this is the reason many assignors do not like officials to work both. And I will say that most of the time when I work with someone who works a lot of girls ball and they are working with me in a boy's game, they often have a quicker whistle. That does not mean there are officials that cannot successfully work both, but there are many that cannot. And this is just one person's opinion, but it seems to be a common opinion.
