Welmer out...
With a torn meniscus.

Hate to hear that about anyone, do you think it may be because they have them call somewhere about 5 or 6 nights a week????? Maybe they should take this into consideration.

My nonprofessional opinion is maybe the foot was not all the way healed and he was compensating for that and thus causing strain elsewhere (knee).
He certainly looked to be laboring a little bit while running. |
Assignors! I'm sure he is not the only one that has had something like this happen. They work them guys way to hard, different city 5 or 6 nights a week. Sure it's great money, but at what price?

When he is ready to quit calling, that is when they start turning down games. Turn down a couple and they quit calling. The assignors should realize this and not put them in this position to have to turn down games. That is my point.

Do you get with other customers and determine how many people your local McDonald's can provide meals for in week? No, the market sets it by their performance. Same goes for officials like Welmer. As long as he's performing up to the standards desired by the assigners, he'll be able to work 7 days a week if he wants. |

Iow, the individual assignor doesn't really know how many consecutive games that Welmer or any other offiicial is working. They can only control the schedule when an official is working for them, but they can't control when the official may be working for another assignor. |
And look what it got him?

Also, I'm sure that Welmer has game fee insurance that will ensure he doesn't hurt financially from missing these games. I'm sure it bothers him to miss the end of the season 2 years in a row, but it's not like he's on Adams's speed dial for the NCAA tourney anyway. |
