Gone to Dark Side
I'm assistant coach this season at the local middle school (Sub-JV level, 7th and 8th graders) Usually we have 2 certified (but this level experience only) officials to do a boys and girls DH. Other day we were at a school 45 miles away that used 2 in street clothes from the stands...two nights later in a different county we get a 3 whistle varsity level crew. Seems anything goes at this age group...got some real gems from the undercover refs!!

Why would it? There is nothing about title IX that requires that a person (independent contractor) who does a job for one group (gender) also do that job for the other gender. Title IX requires the school to offer the same level of opportunities to both genders. It doesn't govern the organizations that provide contract services with the schools/teams.

Many people here seem to find this topic unpleasant, and it's largely irrelevant to officiating, so that's all I'm going to say. ![]()

I talked to a conference assigner many years ago (before the Internet, when officials sent post cards with their open dates to assigners) who told me that if an official only had Friday and Saturday nights open (the traditional times for boys games in this area) and no Thursdays or Saturday afternoons (the traditional times for girls), that he threw the post card in the trash with prejudice.

And that's (y)our prerogative, as a independent contractor. I was just pointing out that there are conferences and assigners out there that may not use (y)our services...as is their prerogative.
If you get the games you want (both quality and quantity), I guess it doesn't matter. |

Then again..our baseball/softball association secretary has been warning us about that for the last 2 or 3 years with no changes yet. |
