This is squarely on the official and the coach. Both should know the situation on the mat as it relates to the score. Additionally, both should know the rules clearly. There is no excuse for this to happen, especially if it involves the determination of advancement in the state tournament. This may be part of a larger problem of not having enough people involved in the sport and becoming officials. It may also be a problem with rules knowledge and mentoring or educating officials properly. This is common in all sports not just ours.

Rumor has it AWood2 is on double secret probation!

Affect and effect are easy to mix up. Here's the short version of how to use affect vs. effect. Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change. Effect is usually a noun, an effect is the result of a change. AWood2...you are a verbal mastermind!

You need to change your name to The Strategist.

I'm so old and out of shape, I don't think I'd last the first 30.

Wow. It has been 7-8 years since I've been on this site. And now that I am no longer an official, I am back as a fan (not a former official). My head is about to explode. I don't know where to start. Wrestling Scholar...you are mostly wrong. SIAC fan...you are less wrong than WS but still mostly wrong. AWood2...you are mostly right but wrong on occasion.

Can I propose a new subject for this thread: Misconduct on the fan (AWood2)!

Never...however..the Merrillville brackets are up.

He is an Asthmatic...well within the rules to use an inhaler during a match.

Interesting point...he was wrapped up in that craddle very tightly and didn't go over... held on to that victory with raw guts.

You think that was bad...you should have seen the guy at the Braggin' Rights today...he reffed just like #4 at team state...Horrible.
