Smooth34 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I don't like the way that match ended for either guy. Caldwell with a slightly premature celebration and Metcalf not being able to handle a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grecoref Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 My unbiased opinion and I will tell Tom Brands this when I see him at the National Open is it should have been Flagrant Misconduct. There is NO place for garage like this in wrestling. Period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tspray1 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Guy does a flip with time left on the clock and thats not unsportsmanlike? Hell he is lucky he didn't get shoved off the stage!!! Metcalf def didn't handle it well but wow no call on the flip is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickS Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I didn't see Metcalf do anything wrong. Metcalf was attacking. and Caldwell decided to do a backflip with time remaning. If Caldwell hadn't done that premature celebration, Metcalf wouldn't of ran into him like he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combthehair Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 You don't hold up fingers and sprint away from a guy and do a backflip with time left on the clock. That was extremely poor sportsmanship. They both should have been hit for misconducts. I'm kind of glad metcalf shoved him, because I wanted to. But, that doesn't mean it was right.

NickS Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think it's funny that virtually all the 1st page threads on themat.com are dedicated to Metcalf. Got to be some kind of record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grecoref Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 All Caldwell intened to do was hurt Metcalf's feelings. Metcalf intended to injure Caldwell. Proper call may have been Unsportsmanlike Conduct on Caldwell and flagreant Misconduct on Metcalf. Interesting side note...the referee who worked the match is the son of the Head Official of the NCAA. He is an outstaning referee and I don't mean anything by that at all.

Boom444 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 There was 0 seconds on the clock when Caldwell did his flip. He started running away with 2-3 seconds left. Metcalf pushed him a few seconds after the whistle had blown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tspray1 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well Mr. Clark make sure you talk to your Ref friends and tell them to learn how to call stalling Consistently ;D. They banged Iowa alll daggone weekend with stalling, and dictated several of the matches... last 45 seconds Caldwell ran from Metcalf and not 1 stall call. And how about hte Howe match they let that kid take how many ever little breaks he needed. If they would have called that match like they have called most of Iowa matches Howe would have won by DQ do to stalling. I feel bad for him he out wrestled outhustled the other wrestler.

NickS Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 C'mon. You saw the video. He did not run into him, he shoved him. The celebration was premature, but they ruled Metcalf shoved him after the match was over. Just went back and watched it again. You're right, the shove happened a good second or so after the whisle. However I don't think the shove was THAT bad. But since Caldwell was in the process of a backflip and the way he landed. Metcalf's shove made it appear worse than what it was. I'm in no way trying to defend Metcalf because that was still a pretty classless move though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would have called that match like they have called most of Iowa matches Howe would have won by DQ do to stalling. I feel bad for him he out wrestled outhustled the other wrestler. This is the single reason why I would like to see an inner circle (safe zone) and an outer circle (warning zone). Considr the outer circle like the warning track in baseball. Anytime a wrestler backs up into this "warning" zone. The wrestler has 5 seconds or so to circle back into the "safe" zone. It would make stalling alot easier to call and takes the subjectivity out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They warned King numerous times about getting back to the circle. You could actually hear the ref warning and warning him, but he never called it. By the way, I thought it was cool listening to his coach during the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooke Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'm a huge Iowa fan (even wearing my yellow Herky sweatshirt today) and I was jumping up and down and clapping for the last 20 seconds of the match because I'm a bigger fan of great wrestling. Great match Caldwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
