Yes, I think that Welmer is a great official. One of the best. I also disagree with you that he is afraid to make tough calls, which is basically what you are intimating.
You obviously don't like him personally. Also obviously, the people that count do like him though. That's all that matters. He works multi-conferences, is on a pile of big games and always goes late into the tournament.
There are no
perfect officials.
