Can you name those 9-10 assignors? Dale Kelly will only count once! I have heard he is a great guy and fun to be around. But that doesn't make a great official and I thought that is what we are talking about. I also know for a fact he makes his own schedule, literally.
I know you like his officiating style, but I have a question for you. Do you think Welmer is a
great basketball official? If so, do you think part of being a great official includes avoiding or not recognizing tough calls and putting air in the whistle? Does being a great official, at any level, include doing what is right for the game regardless of who it pisses off? Can officiating be about doing right by the game
AND an official's primary source of income without sacrificing one or the other?
