That might be the most asinine statement that I have read on this forum, this side of Old School. This clown has got a history of crapping on D1 officials too, going back to last year's tournament.

It doesn't bother me when someone craps all over an official because they obviously don't like them. Case in point- you and Steve Welmer. But when you crap on ALL D1 officials in the tournament, then that's just plain stoopid imo. I certainly wouldn't want someone like him as a partner, fer sure. I'd be afraid to turn my back on him.

Note the "imo"--"in my opinion".
Let's exhale............repeat after me, "WooooooSaaaaaa."

Now I know how you feel.

Oh, for the record Welmer isn't my least favorite D1 official. My opinion of him has to do with what I consider not making anything but the most ultra-obvious calls. I don't think I have ever said anything about him getting those calls wrong. There is an official who goes farther than him in the tournament every year that makes some horrible calls. I guess I see what you are saying since I have rarely even mentioned this official's name.
