Re: Out of Whack
If a kid qualified for the states with a losing record, so be it. He or she had a better tournament in the regionals or bye's helped out. So what.

Re: Coach of the year
And actually any coach of the year should be quite vocal about his assistant coaches.

Re: Coach of the year
Folks as Gator said the coaches vote on coach of the year. I don't know of any specific criteria. Most coaches will be candid in doing this. I know there are some instances where one personality will not vote for another, but with the group a good choice is usually made.

Re: State Tournament Wrestling Pill
LOL, I for one, maybe the only on, love the pill. It keep coaches from "running" from some people in seeding meetings. I've been in some meetings where it took 45 minutes of fighting and maneuvering to seed 4 wrestlers in one bracket. If I'm a coach, not getting extra pay for the battle, I...

Re: Any upsets in regionals?
Respectfully disagree. Luck played a part in Owings. Lucky he caught Gable on a down day. Taught him a lesson. Gable whooped him a couple of months later at Olympic Trials. The match may have been his plan, but luck hit him the right day. I won a few matches by luck in my day. The matches went as I ...

Re: Sportsmanship
Bearhugger is 100% correct. In a perfect world that is how it happens. But refs are people and coaches need a relationship with the officials so a respectful frank discussion can be had when needed. When calls are bad, sometimes a coach pushes the envelope. Good officials know how to handle this too.

Re: Hats?
Really, debating hats? Why would the officials at WC make such a request? Hats should be allowed, jeans should be allowed, running shoes should be allowed, heck hair pieces should be allowed too!!! How about jewelry(watches and rings on coaches)? Might that blind an official or a wrestler? Ha..........

Re: Question #5
Larry Owings beat Gable in Gable's only college loss, Gable's last college match an NCAA final. Then Gable beat him 7-1 in the Olympic trials. Gable gave up no points, I believe, in the Olympics. Certainly some JV wrestler should have a shot to have his moment in history too!!!

An under 18 year old is a minor. Parents should rule. Over 18, well, good luck with parental influence. Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don't and sometimes they just sneak. LOL

Re: South
Bearhugger is right on with this one. Don't worry about other states. Lead, do not follow. B team wrestlers would be good for the kids wrestling, for the crowds at the meet and a little boost for the finances of the host team. Kids need opportunity. We as a state, coaches and fans need to provide op...

How does an AAA team like SC not have close to a full team? Dunbar(which goes to SC now) and SC both had decent programs a while back.

Re: South
Bearhugger, I'm on record in years past supporting the idea of letter B team wrestlers enter the regionals. It could be easily be done in any number of ways, including not letting them score team points. But as we know it could keep others from scoring points. I'm in favor of this, it increases comp...

Re: Less than 106?
Folks, before most matches the coaches already have an option of setting up an exhibition match. If both are below 100, well good. If one is and one is not, they can still have an exhibition match if the coaches think it is ok. This is a non-issue.

Re: WVU/VT
Jake did not have a stellar outing his match against Pitt(his first I think). It was overtime and he was gassed, but as all good ones do, he found a way to win. I'm pulling for him big time.

Re: Alternate Uniforms: Causing More Problems Than It Solves
This uniform crap is just that. The two biggest things that prevent kids from wanting to wrestle is weight cutting and the thought of walking out there on that mat ALONE.

The first one was after a WVU win, the WVU kid threw his headgear off the mat before shaking hand with the Pitt wrestler. Don't remember who it was. The second one, don't remember who either, came during a match. Don't know if it was wrestler for comments or bench. No announcement form the scoring t...
