no matter how you dice it, that should not have happened. Phoenix does not get much IMC, its
sunny about 350 days a year there.

That is likely part of the problem. A controller who only handles IFR
traffic in IMC 5 days a year will be about as proficient as a pilot who
only encounters IMC 5 days a year in his IFR flying.
