Also, not sure how Title IX would play into the argument. This is a case, for lack of a better term, of "Serperate But Equal". On the NFHS side, so long as the officials calling the games are certified (based on whatever that criteria would be) then there is no Title IX issue. Now if a school/district/state were using "certified" officials for the one and not the other, THEN you might have a problem. On the NCAA side you have an even split on the "corporate" side in Indy, both men and women are provided the same resources and each have their own, seperate, evaluation procedures. So they are good there. Last edited by Judtech; Mon Nov 01, 2010 at 04:50pm. |

Luckily, it works out without too much problem, because there's very little non-varsity high school or junior high games on weekends. My travel team assigner primarily does weekend tournaments, and my rec league assigner does almost exclusively evening games (after non-varsity high school games are finished) or weekends. Quote:

As a matter of law, that is not true. Discrimination does not have to be intentional or bigoted, but can be an "accidental" effect of apparently disparate choices. Policies that have the effect of differential treatment for men and women are routinely overturned in court, no matter what their rationale is.

There are many reasons why. Unless you know about all of them first hand, why would you even consider answering the question? If these same coaches know the assignor, which I'm sure they do, then I would direct them to contact that person. He/she is making the decision to use or not use certain officials on their games.

My point was that Title IX affects schools, not privately contracted officials and their choices of which games to work. It seems to me, from my limited perspective, that the schools would only have to show they've done as much as they can to equalize the officiating. If officials were liable, you'd see football officials forced to work volleyball.

If anything, I would simply tell the coaches that I really have no insight into that; but he's welcome to contact the assigner to find out why.
I really like the snarky reply regarding coaches, however.

I don't really care one way or another, although I will be the first to admit that I'm forced to call a different game in 90% of my girls games than I call during the boys games. The girls are simply not athletic enough to play through what would easily be considered incidental contact in a vast majority of boys games. I consider myself able to adjust to the differences in the games, although I probably am not the best judge of how well I do that. |

A lot of this discussion is local anyway. What happens in your area or my area is not likely to apply to everyone. Peace
