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.

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

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

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.

Being 6'9" never hurt, either!!!

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