BigBlue02 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 How many people noticed this weekend how IMO rude Brooks was, by walking right inbetween the two wrestlers that just finished before him. And sometimes even taking the ankle bands from the wrestler themselves. I saw him do it Friday night, in the Quarters and Semi's and thought it was EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL of him to do it after the finals of 106. thoughts?????

MattM Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I think he was a little to jacked to get his match started and was completely oblivious to the moment. I didn't notice anything before that to think anything other than that. I figured some of it was anxiety o just get the match going since he hadn't been able to win a title up to that point dispute always being a major factor. From my view not really intentional to ruin the moment for Micic. But maybe someone should have ushered him off for a few more seconds so the 106 could have there final moments. Guess it was so sudden and out of place no one thought to do that or at least could get to him in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headlock83 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It did come off as rude, but I don't think it was intentional. Just an excited young man realizing that this moment was a once in a life time thing. Let's not be too hard on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesster125 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I agree with you Bigblue!! I thought the same thing.... very desrespectful and rude!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwrestler Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 To be honest, Brooks is a great wrestler but has always been a punk. I'm not at all surprised to hear he was acting disrespectful all weekend, and I doubt any of it was unintentional. Jumping into your opponent's coach's arms after you win a state title is a bush league move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was bush league at all i think that Dulaney has worked with a lot of different wrestlers and brooks just happened to be one of them.It wasn't the first person he celebrated with but It is a spur of the moment type of celebration. If thats what he wanted to do then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the kid personally, but to call him a punk on this board, makes me wonder who the punk really is. I also think there was more to the story of him jumping into the arms of the other coach. Maybe they have a connection nobody else knows about. That coach didn't seem to mind. He seemed happy for the young man. Just my thoughts on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestlerBlack77 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Who cares if you think it was rude. And to the person who said he is a punk you are an @$$. As a fellow wrestler I can say he is not a punk. He is great wrestler and he is actually very respectful to other fans and wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devildog47959 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 All I have to.say is I have BROOKS fever ha love watching the kid wrestle, by far the funnest wrestler to watch compete all yr for me. Only seen a handful of his marches & was.awestruck by some of his sick moves I cant wait to see how he does at the.collegiate level, nothing agsinst Tech but I.don't see him.staying there very long. He has the talent to be a Division I national champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMWC2009 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Dulaney didn't have to catch him!! I thought that was a POSITIVE last night. You can battle on the mat, then be friends again as soon as you step off. There is no other sport like wrestling! Wrestlers no matter where they are from are family!!

WC182Dad Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 That's the fighter mentality you mill be seeing a lot of Brooks in the cage. Just curious why did he jump in Delaneys arms Doesn't Brooks wrestle for warsaw and Delaney coach for notorious Yorktown personally Delaneys always been a punk and that rubs off on the wrestlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateSteffen Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 1. Brooks is not a punk. Being excited, confident and ready wrestle. Nothing wrong with that. From coaching against brooks to cheering for him on the mat and in the cage, he deserves nothing but respect for the hard work he has done. Congrats little brooks! Hope to see you in the cage again soon, you're an exciting wrestler and fighter. 2. Delaney is not a punk. from what I know of coach delaney, he is a very very hard working coach that cares more about the kids than himself. ALL KIDS more than himself. With the success of Yorktown he must be doing something right. Congrats on your success this season. Calling either a punk... Way to help ruin a kids state championship and a coach's success.

munges Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Here is the quote from Brooks in the SouthBend Tribune ?I did that, because I was supposed to move to Yorktown this year,? said Brooks. ?It was all set, but then we didn?t do it. But I?m friends with (the Yorktown coach) and I made a deal that if I won a state title, I would run over and jump in his arms.? So Yorktown almost recuited Brooks also. So what in the world is going on with people saying Yorktown does not recruit. If there is enough smoke there is fire. This is something that keeps coming up every year, concrete examples of good wrestlers around the state moving to Yorktown. Open your eyes if you still say Yorktown does not recruit your blind!!!!!!

NateSteffen Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It helps ruin it simply because it is a negative statement taking away from the hard work others have done. Dont piss and moan about others success. Again congrats to brooks and coach delaney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight171 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Let's not ruin the kid's moment. He's a state champ. Finally got over the hump that him and his brother couldn't get over. In my opinion this topic is pointless. Not tryin to be rude by any means. I mean it's the state tournament. He probably wasn't thinking. He is a kid that was pumped and ready to go win a state title. Let the kid enjoy his spotlight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumbleBee1989 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This is ridiculous. I wish the team I was on in highschool were all like brooks. He was ready to go and you are all just over analyzing his actions. So what he got the ankle bands right then? The match was over and he was ready to go. And I'm pretty sure he has wrestled with Yorktown since he was a kid an if he wants to jump in Dulaney's arms. He can just do it. Who cares. They didn't need to recruit him, their success and history with brooks brought him in alone. Nothing more to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panther83 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Great wrestling, and I like the young man. He had the crowd humming with some of his exciting moves. Many in the state have not had the pleasure of watching him wrestle, and he, Petrov, and T-shirts all made it worth the price of admission. A great night of wrestling. But to the subject of taking to the mat to grab the ankle band in the state finals. I can honestly say that I have watched brooks wrestle for 7 years, and he has always done this even in middle school. Does it bother me as a fan? Yes. Only because I believe you should give the winner of the previous match his respect and just due, before you jump onto the mat. Especially at a State finals so the pictures by fans and parents can be snapped, and all hard work can be relished by all in that brief moment in time that they will remember the rest of their lives. Things happen, let's try to remember Young Mr. Brooks for being a dominant state champion at 113lb this year, and wish him the best of luck at Indiana Tech. Congrats, always a fan good luck in college. Panther out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerb442004 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well if you take the time to watch any of Jarred's matches, since day one he has rushed out on the mat just eager to wrestle!! He jumped in Troys arms because my brother loves the guy!! Jarred had no intention of being disrespectful, especially towards his two great friends (Philips and Micic)!! Finally guys your lecture on disrespect and being rude is a bit hypocritical!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon H Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I don't know any of these wrestlers or coaches personally....................but I was shocked to see Brooks come out on the mat so early after the conclusion of the 106 match. This did seem to be disrespectful to me even if it was unintentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
