Eric Curry, the suspended Big Sky official, was originally not assigned a NCAA tournament game but got the call when Welmer turned his back.

Was the reasoning for Curry not getting a game due to his suspension?

Hard to believe a guy whose worked 8 straight Big Sky Finals as well as 4 straight years in the tournament would be left out....
