No Welmer?

MJ, I think you forgot to put the smiley face indicating you are joking.

I am not joking. I know he drives people nuts with his tugging on his pants and some of his mechanics aren't by the book (but whose in D1 is?). I think his game management is spectacular.

He must be doing something right...at least in the regular season.

I asked the question to a couple of D-I guys (who I won't name here) a couple of years ago, and they said they had heard through the grapevine that the NCAA selection committee sees Welmer do ALL the big games ALL year long, so they essentially don't put him in the Final Four to give other officials shots at those big games.

Whether that's right or wrong, truth or not, I don't know with certainty. This principle doesn't seem to have hurt guys like Jim Burr, Tim Higgins, Ed Hightower, etc.

Are you kidding (about people being annoyed with the pant tug)?

The pant tug is an integral part of the Steve Welmer drinking game.
