Was at that particular game, lots of fouls called both ways in an attempt to get control of what was a pretty physical game. The one thing that really bothered me was when one of the other refs T'd up Self who wanted a traveling call. During the process, Self is giving Welmer an earful (Welmer didn't call the T) and he promptly goes over to the partner who passed on the traveling and then T'd up Self and - to the crowd - appeared to be explaining to the partner what he "missed" with gestures.
I am sure Welmer was simply telling him what Bill Self was complaining about, but the body language and movements used made it appear to the crowd (and even to a somewhat veteran official like me) that he was lecturing his partner. I would have preferred a less demonstrative discussion between the two officials at a less noticeable time.
