I looked at the largest association I belong to and out of well over 200 officials, we only have 5 females that appear to be members. About 3 of those are college officials. I know of one that has very little experience, let alone varsity experience of any kind. And that is the highest number of female officials that I know of in any of my 3 basketball associations. There are two that attend I know of in another association. I mentioned this because it would be very hard here to send a lot of women officials to any level. When they get a college opportunity, they leave high school.
