Steve Welmer
Watching the Georgetown/Missouri game tonight and Doug Gottlieb mentioned that Steve Welmer hurt his knee two nights ago and has decided to retire.

I know there are those who will criticize him and his lack of a Final Four, but I for one will miss him greatly... the man is a master at game management, mainly due to his demeanor.

And with that it's sad to think that a great drinking game has come to an end too.

Best wishes to Steve in retirement.

This would be Steve's third major injury in the past two years. Tiem waits for no man.

I'm not aware of a drinking game associated with Mr. Hightower.

Was just giving out ideas was all.

I kinda remembered most of the D1 talk was about Welmer & Hightower.

As I can attest to. About a week ago I decided that this will be my last year of basketball. At 62, I think I've outlasted many my age and with a full varsity schedule, I believe that I am leaving while still fully able to do a good job.

Oh, how the game has changed since 1973. Life is too short and youth is wasted on the young!

J.D had a knee replacement this past spring and he retired. He talked about it at a camp I was at. Very sad story if you value officiating.

Peace

Or anytime a call is "sold".

Good for you to realize this Forks.

We have a 69 yr old official in our association. While his mechanics and knowledge are good, he just can't make it up and down the court anymore. Someone is gonna have to break the news to him, soon.......

Jeff,

Thanks. That's basically what I heard... always enjoyed watching him work.
