The second part of the statement is conjecture on my part. If I were assigning NIT games and Welmer was available to work any of my games on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament, I might inquire about the reason.

By calling the officials? By checking an online availability chart?

I don't know how it works, but there are certainly ways to find an official's availability without being in direct contact with the other assignor.

Having said that, it would certainly be easiest if the NCAA and NIT assignors communicated with each other.
