IMAWRESTLER Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 We tried to go to the Purdue Mizzou match on a Sunday during season, and were told by the IHSAA that we could not attend with coaches on a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navychiefmatt09 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Ok... So does that mean that high school football players need to stop going to see games...and basketball players... You can guarantee that if I had the chance to see Iowa wrestle live when I was a high schooler, I was there... Went to see Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana... No contact with anyone from the schools... just sat...ate my popcorn and watched... Nothing beats seeing these guys for real...What about high school coaches getting the team together for trips to watch the NCAA Tournament? Seems ridiculous that we have some of the best NCAA Wrestling in the country and we can't even take wrestlers to go see it? At some point these guys have to realize that not everyone's family can afford to take them to see stuff like this... I'd wager that a large majority of wrestling families in Indiana have very little expendable income and struggle just to get their kids to tournaments on the weekends.. Something like this comes along and we tell them no? Really? Why? Because the other 100 NCAA wrestling teams will complain that they didn't have a fair shot at recruiting a certain kid? Two things...one...It's called a pipeline state for a reason... (look at how beserk Iowans went when 4 timers Jay Borschel and Dan LeClere left Iowa for Va Tech), two... Just because a spectacular wrestler watches a certain team and grows up in a given area doesn't mean the whole pipeline state thing is a lock...For example Derek Garcia....4 timer from Washington's Sedro Wooley HS... Grew up with Boise St and Oregon St in his backyard...They loved this kid in the Pacnorwest...until he did the unthinkable and announced "Hey...I'm gonna be a Buckeye" Bottom line is Indiana wrestlers have the opportunity to see top notch wrestling and we say no?

Gucci152 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I Believe the IU coaches know what they are doing inviting high school kids going to watch wrestling. We are still going and it's fine with our A.D for our team to go. I'm pretty sure I would risk going even if it wasn't allowed. I have to watch DT wrestle in person. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMAWRESTLER Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The rule states no contact withyour coach during the season on Sunday. Wrestling season is over by NCAA final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Wrestling Club Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm not too familiar with this rule but if your coach sends in your roster, you will still have FREE admission to the match. Hope you can make it to the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The rule states no contact withyour coach during the season on Sunday. Wrestling season is over by NCAA final. Since you are having no wrestling practice, no physical conditioning of any kind, no manditory team meeting, etc. I do not feel this is what the coaches contact guidelines was designed to do. Or if it is it shouldn't be. It's one thing to make it manditory or hold an actual practice, but all this comes down to is going to the same place to watch a college sporting event. I see it as no different than a coach helping at a youth group outing at church, everyone meeting at the local food hotspot to watch some NFL games, or getting some of the members of the team to volunteer their time helping with a community service project. Guess they will have to make seperate ropes off coaches section from the wrestlers section. I'll be at the meet watching some solid wrestling. Seems like the IHSAA has a few other issues to worry about with skin infections, weight managment interpretation issues, transfer issue .....not to mention the other winter sports going on make these type of "good will" events into a high priority witchhunt.
