CHAD RED THREW ON HIS BACK?!

Reaction time and settling into control are highly emphasized in high school wrestling for officials.  That was not a takedown.  That official is a past Olympic official and anyone would argue he's one of the 2 or 3 best in our state--if not the best.  It was exciting and it was close to a miracle and all of that; however, you have to settle into control in high school wrestling more than in college--and much more than the exposure and quick-fall situations of freestyle and greco.  We the fans are the ones freaked out by that situation and bringing our biases--not the official on the mat that's officiated far better wrestlers in far bigger moments than Red-Gunsett.

I respect that and I understand what you are saying but in my opinion that was 2. Doesn't really matter tho.
