No Welmer?

[TriggerMN]

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.
