1prouddad Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have seen so may times where a coach or wrestler call injury t/o when there is really no injury other than stamina conditions. Have you noticed this as well and what is your take on this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEspectator Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It doesn't make much of a difference say i take a injury timeout against a better wrestler, he refreshes along with me so the outcome will still be the better wrestler winning.

munges Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 How about wrestler claiming he his hurting in order to stop a reversal? That is what I believe I saw today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALLY..Let's just say there is 20 sec. to go in a match and wrestler( is down by 1 but pushing for the take down and wrestler(a) knows IT and calls for a t/o and goes over to drink water and talk it over with coach. Match resumes with minimal time and wrestler (a) just stalls out. Are you as a wrestler or even better yet,a coach, proud of your win. I wouldn't be, but I guess some are as long as my "Johnny" wins. Wrestle hard for your 6 minutes or get out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEspectator Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's part of the sport. That's a smart tactic if you ask me. And it isn't fair but what can you do about it? Sit on a message board and complain? No, use every weapon in ur arsenal to win the match no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosgrove Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 hahhhah i cant believe you actually said it is a smart tactice i think there should be a penalty on that i mean there is one if you stop a pin why not a reversal only thing i see taking a injury time is like a dislocation and i dont mean a finger i mean shoulder elbow knee and so on a finger shouldnt be stopped till movement is stopped if you disagree then dont wrestle because dislocated inger are a part of the sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAC8 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It is getting pathetic! Biggest part of the game that needs some refining. I saw a kid a week ago down by 1 with short time, the kid has a two on one on his back so he wasnt getting up. He called for injury time to get a new start. How can you root for somone like that?

1prouddad Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Injury time gives opponent choice in NCAA. I must say it should be the same in high school wrestling. This takes away the advantage that some coaches or parents that that it is fine fine to go through the motions till things get hot. Weak performance and very little stamina will take you no where unless you have a coach that thinks it's fine to work a ref or great sport like this. Shame on the coach and more so SHAME on the ref for stoppage.. point to red for stalling.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEspectator Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 You can't be mad at a wrestler or a coach taking a IT even if it's unnecessary. It's not there fault there is no rule against it!! People are going to use whatever is legal and whatever betters there chance of winning. Cheap or not, It's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit on a message board and complain? No, use every weapon in ur arsenal to win the match no matter what. Maybe this is true, but it is still a gutless thing to coach your kids to do. I put this right there with telling your kid to stay down after a slam or illegal move just to advance. It"s a rule but a gutless and unsportsman like thing to do which sets a poor example for the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe their practices are nothing more than toe taps and leap frogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrConcuss23 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I feel like it is clearly cheap to take an injury time when your clearly not hurt. Part of me wishes that the college rule was adopted and that the other wrestler would get choice after one injury time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
