My life hasn't been the same since he went out injured...at least there's Diebler.

Steve gave back his post season games last year! I am sure he will not be back even if he is healthy.

I worked a JV game last night and I saw that Ron Grissom was in the stands watching. After the game I went up and introduced myself and he invited me to sit next to him and chat during the varsity game. During our chat he told me that he called Hightower after the game that he did with Welmer when Steve hurt himself. Eddie told Ron that Welmer broke his foot when he was making a cut to get to position and his season was over.

Actually, Steve worked an NIT game last year and a first round NCAA games in each of the two previous years. Does anyone know why he's worked so few post season games the past three seasons?

Welmer was didn't work the NCAA tournament by his own doing last year. He declined his NCAA tournament selection because he only got assigned one game in the first round instead of two games like most veteran officials. He felt he was not given respect.

The fact is that Welmer has never worked beyond the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament. You can do the research and check that out for yourself. He has been strictly a first weekend guy only. |

The world needs more prima donna officials. I plan on becoming one, just as soon as I learn how to call traveling.

Wasn't there 2-3 "big time" officials last year in the same situation. I don't know why Jim Burr's name comes to mind, but I remember there being 3-4 that either did not take their games, or were not picked for NCAA tournament games. Anyone have info??

You might be thinking of the computer problem that caused a couple of the guys to not get some required form submitted.

Jim Burr and John Higgins were the two big names that didn't work the NCAA tourney last year because of some problem with the submission of there online background check, which is required of all officials to work the tourney.
Welmer's issues are totally separate from that situation. It's too bad he's hurt because it would have been interesting to see if he worked games later in this year's tourney with Adams in charge now. |
