If there's anyone in the forum out there from Utah one thing I'd like to know is how are games played out there, specifically are the boys' and girls' games assigned as doubleheaders?

When I worked in GA our games were assigned as DHs with the girls' game first. You got the same crew for both games so there wasn't as much of a concern about "strong" vs. "weak" officials since it was the same three people. If Utah did that it would cut down on that issue.

Jetmet-
you read my mind.here games are assigned for the most part as doubleheaders
JV Girls 3PM
JV Boys 4:30 PM
Varsity Girls 6PM
Varsity Boys 7:30 PM

A team of 2 comes in and works both JV games,followed by another team of 2 for varsity.One home date this year was varsity only and that had one official assigned to both with a lady coming in for the girls game and a guy replacing her for the boys game.

Do you ever have trouble getting officials for such early games? I can't even make 4:30 games very often, I can't imagine getting there at 2:30 or earlier for a game on a weekday.

no although a lot of times the JV officials will show up about 20 minutes prior to tip.I've had only a couple of JV officials show up even 45 minutes prior to tip.

NYC publics start the vast majority of Varsity games at 4:30P (used to be 4P). Some guys have issues but those are the same guys who'd probably be late for a 6P tip as well.

"To add a third one, if he or she isn't good, then by all means no, we don't want three. I don't want a one (the highest rating for an official) trying to overcompensate for a four or five (lower-rated officials)."
I've heard this before. Schools don't want to provide paid training time for the new official on the crew on a given night. Hard to blame them for this.

Then they get to the boys level, and if they have to come back and do girls, they're not nearly as good as when all they could do were girls' games.
I find this hard to believe, unless some of the guys do adopt the attitude that they are now above calling the girls game and obviously dog it. For the most part, I think it's more a case of ugly basketball makes for ugly officiating.

.....it's almost unfair to ask the girls to play all season with two officials and then adjust to three in the tournament.
And this is just a crock.

It is hard enough to keep up with a tough boys game on one night and I do not know how I would be able to be focused to work a girls game in the same night (different talent level, different style of play and different expectations).

So glad we do not do that crap around here or we have gotten away from that stuff. I think all this double header stuff makes people decide not to officiate in the first place. Maybe this is why in basketball there is almost no shortage.

Peace

This is actually suggested by the state assigner in the article as a solution, and rejected by the girls coaches. Apparently there are concerns that not all facilities can handle boys and girls in the same night, and the girls do not want to be early game all the time.

If there is only one gender, the Utah schedule is almost always

3:30 Soph
5:15 JV
7:00 Varsity

If there are both genders at the same time, then it is

3:30 Boys Soph in main Gym, and girls JV in Auxiliary Gym
5:15 Girls Varsity in Main Gym and Boys JV in Auxiliary Gym
7:00 Boys Varsity in Main Gym and girls Soph in Auxiliary Gym

But not all schools have adequate lockers or aux gym for both genders. For now, most games are not assigned as double headers unless the assigner is having trouble getting refs. We have either 3 or 6 crews at the facility each night. Double headers are assigned frequently at remote sites to reduce travel, but at metro sites each crew does just one game.

Nevada currently uses this schedule in the largest classification:
At school A:
3:30 subvarsity contest
5:15 GV
7:00 BV
At school B:
3:30 subvarsity
5:15 subvarsity
7:00 subvarsity

The subvarsity games (GF, BF, GJV, BJV) rotate from year to year through the four different possible slots.

If an area is going to have both genders at the same site, I favor the way that the smaller schools do it.
At school A:
3:00 GJV; 4:30 BJV; 6:00 GV; 7:30 BV
With the two freshmen games at school B, if the schools have them.

NV uses 3-man for all varsity games both boys and girls at D1 and D2, while using 2-man at the D3 and D4 levels. All subvarsity is 2-man.

I should state that there is one school in our league with multiple gyms.When playing at that site the schedule is as follows:
4:30 PM-JV Girls-Secondary Gym
4:30 PM-JV Boys-Main Gym
6:00 PM-Varsity Girls-Main Gym
7:30 PM-Varsity Boys-Main Gym

So this school on league home nights requests three crews of officials.

And which games are worked by each of the three crews? Obviously different crews are working the two 4:30 contents, but does one stick around and also work the GV game or does a new crew come in and work both varsity games?
