LRZ:

You're welcome. The split of the NBC into the NFHS and NCAA Men's Rules Committees took place after either the 1976-77 season or the 1978-79 season. I can't give you a definitive answer without climbing up into the attic to go to go through my files.

The last year that the AIAW (Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women) sponsored a national tournament was the 1982-83 season. The NCAA took over the next season and used NAGWS Basketball Rules for that one season after which it formed its own Rules Committee and the CVS started publishing an Officials Manual for women's college basketball.

Thanks again, Mark.

I was once asked to work a women's community college game under NAGWS rules, when icy road conditions kept one of the assigned refs from getting there.
