Now it is completely segmented — you either work women's or men's, never both. And crossing over isn't very common either.

Where are the people ranting about these comments? I was told there are people that work both all the time.

Not at the college level. I've never seen anyone suggest that's the case. High school? That's another can of worms altogether.

There have been people here that claimed this has happen at the college level. Never seen any evidence that proves this, but I have heard this a few times as if it was a "norm."

Certainly at the HS level this takes place, it almost has to on many levels. But I have heard people suggest it happens in college, even after the NCAAW side took a turn to NBA style mechanics and rules.

Maybe at lower levels (DIII, NAIA, JUCO), but even then I would be surprised to see full schedules.

Someone claimed it happened at the D1 level on this very site.

That being said there was an assignor in my area that assigned D3 in a conference for both genders and tried to assign officials to both. That did not go over well and later that supervisor was released from both. And it certainly does not happen in my area at those levels you mentioned. Coaches do not want to see officials working the other side because of those expectations and philosophies that are often different on each side.

I don't remember the claim regarding D1. Might be the most absurd claim ever made on the board.

I remember it because I was challenged vigorously over my comments about not wanting or willing to work both at the college level.

There is one conference I can think of that might do this —*but I am not sure.
