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?

They don't work them any harder than he wants to be worked. He can refuse assignments anytime he gets ready too.

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.

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. |

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. |

But that's the point. You wrote how the assignors are working him so hard. HE has the power to decide how much HE wants to work.

In my opinion, it got him at roughly $200,000 a year in officiating wages. I'd be ok with that. It is up to each individual to figure out how often they want to work. He's carried a full schedule like that for years. Unfortunately injuries happen to everyone. I'll never be a men's official, but I'd take a Welmer on his 25th day in a row before a lot of other officials. That guy knows how to run a game.
