Somebody at CBS got the bright idea to put a mic on Michigan State coach Tom Izzo during the Spartans' game against Kansas last Saturday. It all went well until official Steve Welmer hurt a foot late in the first half and gave an explanation about his injury to Izzo and the rest of the crew.
After the exchange, Michigan State players and coaches gathered and somebody says of Welmer, "We have to put his ass in a chair at halfcourt."
CBS play-by-play man Verne Lundquist tries to cover it up by saying, "Steve Welmer explaining the nature of the injury." Thanks to World of Isaac.
Actually I think the audio was out of sync and Bill Self was the person who made the comment about sitting him at halfcourt.
