SBadamsfan Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I didn't even understand why there was a question! he clearly signaled 1 for an escape, then 2 takedown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Spires Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I swear if anyone on this thread says "He's just a ref, they all make mistakes..." But in all seriousness, that could very well be the worst call I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestleMan Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 That is by far the worst call I've ever seen. The really sad part is that 2 of them missed it. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most sad part is that the ref was so stubborn that he refused to make the right call, even ACKNOWLEDGE the right call, despite the indisputable evidence.

rdrodd1 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Kind of makes you wonder about instant replay. But when a ref can't remember what he did 15 seconds ago who knows. I don't know if that call caused Michigan the win but it sure could have took the wind out of their sails. Go Blue....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feez Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Before we jump on the officials take a real good look at the tape again. The clock on screen does not seem to match the board clock. at :59 seconds into the tape the board shows :00 in the clock. Therefore which is correct? Maybe the escape was the right call after all. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearless fly Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Something I saw last week, wrestler A turned wrestler B flat on his back(clearly pinned) and the ref was just standing there giving the 5 count while the alternate ref moved in and motioned to the active ref to call the pin. Finally, after he finishes his 5 count he gets down and calls the pin...I, along with just about everyone else were gabberflasted ! ff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the escape was the right call after all. ??? This was an OT situation where both wrestlers get to be on bottom for :30 so what you are seeing is the entire :30 period where Zeerip was down. He clearly gained control with about :10 left. I watched most of the dual. The clock that you are talking about that showed :00 was like that the whole night - they weren't using it for the matches.

EvansvilleSpectator Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Some refs believe you have to get a five count before a pin is called. I've seen the same thing. I don't think it should be that way at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjax Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It goes without saying that that was a horrible call. It's hard to fathom Big Ten refs could make that bad of a call. But the more interesting question is, do you think that should have been 1 escape and 2 takedown, or just 2 reversal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guru Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I think most referees would wave off the escape and award just the reversal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjax Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I think most referees would wave off the escape and award just the reversal. I agree. Although there was a split second of separation, it was really just one continuous move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestleMan Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I would agree. It would be tough to give 1 and 2, but they were separated and facing one another. I have seen escapes given for less, but it was almost one continuous motion. Tough call, but definitely at least the 2 point reversal. He should have racked up another 10 seconds of riding time. BTW, does riding time continue into OT in college? Can that be a factor in determining the winner in OT? I have no idea, just thought I would ask.

Zeerip lost after Heflin got an escape the next period, but had more cumulative riding time for the entire match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCKAJC Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Wow!! Clearly after the scramble should have been reversal with Mich. wrestler in control with 9 sec. left. That is bad. When the refs get together and still shank it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
