Welmer Out; MSU vs KU
I guess reffing 52 games in 55 days will catch up to you sometime. Welmer said, "I think I pulled a bone in my right foot. I went to make a cut and something just popped."
It will have no affect on the game since Hightower is on the game and looks out of his primary area all the time anyway. Last edited by dahoopref; Sat Jan 10, 2009 at 01:57pm. |

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

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. |

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.

I see he's taken some time off. He worked every day from Nov. 14 until Christmas, including Thanksgiving Day. That's crazy.

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

Did anyone else notice that Dorien and Hightower were working cadillac position for two man? Is this the CCA mechanic for two officials, or had it just been that long since either of them had worked with two?

When I reffed in college back in 1993 (or so), cadilac referred to having the players to your right when boxing the players in. If events led you the other way, you would use the next transition opportunity to slide over. Pretty sure this went away mid-90s.

You kept the players right (whether lead or trail) always. You would cross over as the trail at the first opportunity. Throw-ins could put both officials on the same side of the court as the lead would administer and the slide over to the other side of the court. Looking back, it really was about as moronic as it got, but isn't that how mechanics evolve? I wonder what will be seen as silly 20 years from now that we do today? |
