Terry Wymer, a longtime college basketball official, the Executive Director of Collegiate Officiate Consortium, and Coordinator of Officials for the Big Ten and Mountain West, died Saturday, Oct. 18 at age 66.
‘It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Terry Wymer,’ the Collegiate Officiating Consortium said in a statement. ‘Terry’s leadership, integrity, and passion for the game set the standard for all of us.
‘Terry brought out the best in those around him – whether mentoring new officials, working with our coaches, or simply sharing a laugh in the locker room. His impact on the officiating community will be felt for years to come, and his absence leaves an unmistakable void in our industry.
‘We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, especially his wife, Teresa, and his children Luke, Eric and Rachel.’
