yogihof Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This is always something that interests me each season. *First, anyone know of any alternate who will be wrestling Friday Night? *Second, can anyone recall any alternates to the State Finals who have turned it around and medaled?

rpetty24 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Brenden Black from Hobart did it in the 2013-2014 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCrotchNinja Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 How do alternates for state work? Do they get called prior to Friday night or just show up at weigh ins praying to the food gods that someone missed weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 How do alternates for state work?

If it's a pre-existing issue that is elimination the wrestler from competing then his school is suppose to contact the proper people. If it's a day of miss weight issue then the alternate would just need to show up that evening and hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogihof Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm told the kid and the coach are to wait at the contestants entrance. If a kid misses weight, the alternate and coach get the "Golden Ticket" and can enter to weigh in. Still can't understand why the IHSAA won't at least admit the Alternate and Coach comp.

WrestlingSlam42 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Black won by injury default. Has there ever been a alternate beat a 1 by the match score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've even changed the rules to where if your wrestler does not place only the wrestler and one coach get admitted for Saturday. The second coach and manager must buy a ticket.

On top of that now we will potentially lose some warm up partners for our kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indysportsfan Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Black won by injury default. Has there ever been a alternate beat a 1 by the match score I would guess no. Edited February 16, 2017 by Indysportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is about as simple as I can put it and not be in danger of being banned from this site. loscoz and IU89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something the Coaches Association recommends or do does bringing this up just make us look like the whiny wrestling coaches? Would bringing this up hold us back on other requests?

GrecoCoach Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Somebody has to pay for all staff salaries at the IHSAA. And most of their sports lose money at their state tournaments. Wrestling is one of only a few sports that actually make a profit for the IHSAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navy80 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 And most of their sports lose money at their state tournaments.

EazyBLACK7 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Really? I would think most, if not all, make money in the finals. Could be due to the number of wrestlers that compete. Most team sports don't have 224 individuals competing at one event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOWrestler Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't think it makes sense to argue about this. Instead, just get wrestlebacks. Then everyone is still in the tournament on Saturday ! Better tournament and problem of Saturday solved. Win-Win! loscoz and ACMSBagubas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
