Welcome to the world of women's basketball !!! You know all those jump balls you are going to call in AAU the next two months in girls games, that you wouldn't call in a men's game. Well that is a foul that we call because it is women's basketball, but we would no call that in a guy's game.....

That's nonsense. I don't call boys any differently than I call girls. They *do* play differently and force me into some calls I wouldn't have to make in boys games, though.

Worked 53 HS games this year, 12 of them girls.

I'm the reverse of Rich. I had 48 HS games this past season and 38 of them were GV. There was a difference in how the games were called (not on held balls...) but that was mainly because we follow NCAAW guidelines in my NYC GV games. In 2012-13 I called things pretty much the same regardless of who was playing.

I've got a foul here, but maybe that's just because I don't know how to stay out of the game.
