... back then a college's AD hired the officials for its home games. And I was hired by the schools even though they knew I was attending UM and my sister was playing golf for UM.

If you hadn't said that your sister played golf, I'd have been fine with this. But how could you possibly be impartial with your sister playing golf for your school? I can't imagine any AD being okay with that.

It was a very different time in women's college basketball in the 1970's. Every coach (with two exceptions) in the collegiate game in Florida (both 4 year schools and jr. colleges) were also a NAGWS registered women's college basketball official. In all of the games that I officiated I never had an official question me or my partner during a game. After every game both coaches and all of the players would shake hands with the officials and thank them for officiating the game for them. It was not until the NCAA and NJCAA took over women's college basketball and we started wearing black and white did I "whacked" my first college coach. I always asked the AD's if it was alright for to officiate the games, and they always told me that if they thought I would show favoritism they wouldn't ask me to officiate the games. The game my girl friend fouled out was played on a Thursday afternoon, and it snowed in Miami, that weekend.
