You tell 'em queen....

BUT, I believe my use of the phrase "developing officials" was misinterpreted (or miscommunicated).

Like it or not, at some levels, girls basketball is used for agree or not, girls basketball is used to help developing officials....officials that are capable, but perhpas fine-tuning their game to get to the next level.

Sooner or later, in any ballgame, you will see an official who is there to see if she/he is ready for that level. It is not possible (or, from an officials' group perspective, even desirable) to have the very best officials possible for every single game. No one would develop that way.

No one, especially not me, meant to imply that girls' games aren't good (I love doing good, high-level girls ball). But the boys/mens game is a different level.
