Welmer Out; MSU vs KU

[MOofficial]

Because college officials use Precision Timing Devices, officials stop the clock with a mic that is hooked up to the whistle and start the clock with the starter that is on their belt.

All colleges? Really? And they used them 10 years ago, too?

C'mon, now. The discontinuation of the stop-clock signal was way before the first Precision Time device made its debut.

The NCAA Tournament doesn't use PTS. Do those officials raise their hand?

On the men's side, yes they are supposed to.

Ha ha. Ha ha ha.

I have never seen a men's official do this, PT or no PT.

And in the tournament where there is no PT, I haven't seen it either. Where are all the later rounds officials coming from since I'm sure they're being punished for such a flagrant flaunting of the mechanics manual.

Ha ha ha.

Archaic, should be (officially) abolished. Rarely used with the people I work with regularly, BTW.

Here's the youtube video of Welmer telling the coaches what happened... You can clearly hear someone on MSU's bench (whether it be Izzo or a player) say that they should "sit his *** in a chair at half court."

i could be wrong, but that sounds like Bill Self making the "put his a$$ in a chair at half-court, that's probably just as good anyways..." comment. trying to make a little joke out of the situation.

They just announced that Welmer has a stress fracture -- he was due to work the Texas/Oklahoma game tonight.

^ Beat me to it... haha.


The announcers just said during the TX/OK game (where Welmer was supposed to be tonight) that Welmer has a stress fracture. Ouch. I hope he gets well soon and can return back to the court! Sadly, it probably means he won't be back in action until next year though as those things suck to recover from...
