How Far We, as Women, Have Come!
Are you dating yourself with a veiled reference of when girls' basketball was played with six players per team, with two "rovers"?

Some states still have separate governing organizations for girls sports. As such, they tend to use different adaptations. Iowa, for example, up until just a few years ago, allowed the coaching box for girls but the boys' coaches could not use it. There were quite a few other adaptations in place for the girls long after they abandoned the half court game (such as when the arrow would switch on an AP throw in.)

It is more simple than that. The NCAA Women's side hitched their wagon to the NBA philosophy when the WNBA was created in the mid-90s. So the people that often worked WNBA games were people highly influential in the Women's side and convinced everyone to change their coverage areas and even signals. The Men's side as always tried to be a little different and most powers that be do not embrace NBA level or their style of play.

I understand the womens game is different, but is it so different it requires a whole different set of rules and accompanying mechanics? |

Why do they not want to?
Why not? If you standardize the rules and mechanics, and provided the checks are the same, wouldn't women's ball attract higher quality officials that would work both men's and women's? |

The checks aren't the same. So now you would not only change the rules but also the pay scales. And people already complain about officials working too many days, now they can throw in a couple of women's or men's games to completely fill their schedules completely.

I hope you are saying this in jest. I really dont think the rules and mechanics are what is keeping people from not doing women's basketball. More likely is that many officials think women's basketball sucks and wouldnt try to work it if the pay was double what they paid for the men's games. About 8 years or so ago hear, one of the biggest conferences in the Chicago suburbs (33 schools at the time), fired their assignment coordinator. One of the reasons the person who replaced him was hired was that he agreed to do both boys and girls assignments and told the athletic directors and coaches he would make the officials working boys varsity games work girls varsity games as well. He found out very quickly that he wasnt going to be able to keep this promise. Over 95% of the boys varsity officals told him he could keep their boys games if it meant they had to do girls games as well, they would just fill their schedules with games in other leagues. Needless to say, he had no choice but to give guys just boys games otherwise he would have been the assignment guy for 1 season when the boy's coaches saw that they wouldnt get any of the officials they wanted because the assignor was trying to make them work girls games. |

I am sure some guys who did not get many men's assignments would work women's, if it were not for the fact that officiating the women's game is so much different. For a decent men's official who only gets 15 assignments because of his lack of seniority, I think he might work women's games to fill in his schedule if not for the rules/mechanics gap.

In college it's as much a matter of assignors/supervisors don't want you doing both.
