Having said that, I think protecting the airborne shooter to the floor applies strongly at all levels.

For me, if I ever worked a girls game that featured this level of athleticism, I'd call it the same way. It's just that in most cases advantage/disadvantage comes with less contact.

Quite frankly, the small school rural boys games are called differently than the big city schools because of the differences in style of play and athleticism. A few years ago there was a big controversy when the big school coach called out the assignment of rural officials in a state playoff game where almost all contact was called a foul. The comments were decried by many, but to be completely honest, I understood where the coach was coming from.
