Marginally interesting article

The honest answer: Because I have fun in about 10% of the ones I work.

I am working 3 postseason girls games and I expect that the first two will be in the 90% category and the last one will be in the 10% category.

Trust me when I say I give all of these games all of the hard work I can. I just don't want to after this season. 26 years is enough.

New to this site (well actually I think I did some lurking here a few yrs ago) but this subject is one that hits close to home with me.
A little history: I am a girl, I have been officiating basketball at some level since I was 12 yrs old (my dad refs and when I was old enough he sent me to do the pee wee games), I had shoulder surgery this past October and have not worked this season at all.
I am considering doing high school ball next yr after about 7 yrs of only working women's college ball (juco, DIII, NAIA).
I know I will be considered a newbie but I have no desire to work 2 man or ONLY girls games. There are just very few competitive girls games to work. I think all varsity games in my area are 3 man games so that shouldn't be a problem. Still trying to figure out what I will do next season...
