Coach's Question, Need Help Responding

South Carolina does the girl/boy double-header method. V Girls at 6:00, V Boys after, same 3-person crew. Same thing for JV and Middle School with 2-person crews. This system works fine, it certainly eliminates the "boys side" vs "girls side" division that is so common among groups of referees.

Iowa does the back-to-back thing for Varsity contests (or at least used to back in my high school days). I don't remember if it was the same officials for both or not. (It might not have been, up until the mid 1990s a lot of Iowa school still had 6-person girls basketball)

Junior high was a bit different, because girls BB was November-December, and boys was January - February.

I know they did it that way when I first started. I personally never worked in Iowa (basketball), but I lived close and had friends that worked many of those games. But that was ten years ago. I have had Iowa teams recently play Illinois teams and it is a double header with the girl's first and the boy's second.
