Welmer Out; MSU vs KU

[JRutledge]

Damn you beat me to it.

BTW, the other official is Dan Dorien (from my area) who is has been in the Big Ten for about 3 years. Good for him and his assignment, except for having to work 2 Person under these circumstances.

Peace

This is a great assignment for your friend especially for only being 3 years in the Big 10.

He will have to "step up his game" now that it is a 2-man crew. This could be a huge career builder for him.

Fractured foot. Lots of assignments are going to have to be re-filled over the next 2 months.

I'll have my cel phone by my hip at all times.

Tom Izzo is mic'ed for the game and when he was told that Welmer was out, it was caught on his mic, and I think it was Izzo saying "just put his a$$ in a chair at center court" I'm sure CBS is not too happy about that.

Gotta say, so far (8 minutes played, second half) they're doing pretty damned well even though the court coverage is a bit "different."

Well considering that he has worked a couple of years in the MVC and other conferences before he got into the Big Ten, I am very happy for him. He is also was and is on a staff that I just joined in the Chicago and Northeastern Indiana area this past year. He has been very helpful to me personally and I was very happy to see him on this game. Usually a big name gets that kind of assignment.

My first reaction was, "OMG.....Danny Dorien is on the game." I saw Ed and Steve first and did not recognize Danny, until he got a close up.

I am very happy for him and he is a nicer guy than he is an official. Good family man and I wish him the best.

Peace
