SAT., APRIL if, 1981 muftSLMATizES-i or-- 1 5 .Li . Y ; 7 WOMEN'S OFFICIAL: It's Hard Not To Become Excited Over A Beautifully Executed Play Officials, as well as; fans, catch basketball fever during tournaments, j Jan Donahue, who 1 holds a national rating as an official of women's! basketball, says that sometimes while she is of- j ficiating, it is hard not to ! applaud and become ex- cited over a beautifully executed play. "I am standing there ! two feet away from the players, watching them move the basketball around and pass it in for a score working as smoothly as clockwork," Ms. Donahue said. "I still 1 have enough spectator in me that sometimes I have to stifle the urge to ap . plaud." Ms. Donahue is one of about eighty men and womeri in the United States who can referee any women's basketball game anywhere in the country.. She is authorized to referee by the National Association for Girls' and Women's Sports. She recently officiated the Na tional Association of In tercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Women's Na tional Basketball Cham pionship game in Kansas City, the first year this' tournament has been ; played. "Officials, like players,; are always honored to be: asked by a tournament j committee to be an of ficial in a tournamennt game," Ms. Donahue, said. Ms. Donahue, who lives; near Winston-Salem, call ed games all oyer North Carolina this season. She also recently called the men's and' championship for the women's games. . "And as women's : athletics have become more competitive, there has been a parallel impact on what people expect from the officials in . , women's basketball," Ms. , Donahue said. While the importance of women's sports have in creased, so has the stress encountered at the games. "In officiating, you must leave your personality behind and not even notice the color of the jerseys, the personalities of the players, or the jeers and yelling from the crowds and the coaches." Officials are expected to be absolute professionals when , they officiate a game. "You are paid for the services you render,! and with that comes the responsibility to give pro fessional efforts at every game, and to stay in shape to referee." Prior to each season, Ms. Donahue, herself once a college basketball i player and an inter collegiate women's basketball coach, jogs every day to build up her strength and stamina. During the season, she says the games themselves are the real workouts. .. s. A native of Elmhurst, 111., Ms. Donahue holds a bachelor's degree from , Miami University (Ohio) and a Master of Science degree in Physical Educa tion from the University of North Carolina- Greensboro. She works in the marketing department at Wachovia Bank and Trust in Winston-Salem, and is currently taking night classes at UNC-G to earn her Master's in . Business Administration. During this past basket-, ball season, she. had to j pack all of these, activities into her schedule, and sometimes it got rather tight. "Let it suffice to say that I haven't eaten a meal at home in three weeks," Ms. Donahue said with a smile.
