Michigan has more women doing girls games than boys. Most women come from the bigger cities (Detroit, Grand Rapids)We've had several women doing boys semi finals and 1 woman did a boys final a few years back.

Jewel,
By the time I went to my first clinic she had already worked a couple Boys' State semi-finals.
She'd old enough to be my younger sister.

Talking Rainmaker, Mick...

Gonna be 50 (FIVE OHHH) in February. Luckily I've had an overabundance of great partners that have helped me over the years. Rainmaker, good luck with your presentation. You will never know how valuable it will be to the young women and men? who attend.

Here in Michigan, there are a lot of female officials that are certified to work both girls and boys high school basketball. As for me personally, I do not have a problem at all with working with female officials. I work with female officials both at the high school level and at the college level as well here in Michigan, and I have no problem with it at all.

Hey Mick,

I know the oatmealqueen real well and I enjoy watching her work a game and working with her the opportunity presents itself.

In my chapter, we have 4 female refs (out of 112). Two I have worked with on several occaisions. One got her first boys varsity game this year. PA also does not make a distinction between girls and boys games - once cerified, you can do both. It is awkward to have the same dressing facilities. I did a three person game this year (girls varsity) with one of the female refs. The other ref and I had to stand in the hall after the game while she showered, the she stood outside when it was our turn. I don't care who I ref with as long as they are competent. I will also mention there is an all female chapter in Pittsburgh (near where I live). I have done a JV girls game and had the female crew come in behind me to do the varsity game. Again, we all used the same dressing room.
