Popular Post Darrick Snyder Posted February 11 Popular Post Share Posted February 11 Thank you to everyone who has reached out regarding Preston. Results of a CT scan and other tests have come back. Nothing is broken and he will make a full recovery. As far as what happened, the Mater Dei wrestler had been winning the entire match. An illegal slam was called. It was not intentional. Whether it was an illegal slam or not, I don’t really care. We were never taking a dive. Brownsburg doesn’t roll like that. It goes against everything we believe in. If I thought it was intentional, It would be a different story. There is no doubt in our mind that it was just a result of two dudes trying to punch their ticket to state. It was pretty chaotic as all of this was happening as I’m sure you can all imagine. Given that it was a neck/head injury, I wanted to give medical people access to Preston. Once they had time to check Preston out, I took that opportunity to talk to Preston. There was never any talk or consideration of taking a dive. Preston would never do that. He was in a lot of pain and upset. He has had a lot of adversity this season. He tore his ACL at IHPO and has been working through that pain and frustration all season. I just explained to Preston what had happened and that I was going to forfeit the match. I told him we were losing…and it would not be fair to take the trip to state away from the Mater Dei kid. Preston agreed and said he would never do that. There was no reversal of the call or anything. I just went up to officials and said we are forfeiting the match. Whoever said Preston was walking around saw someone else. He was taken out on a stretcher and to the emergency room.

SWINfan Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Well said. I was confident you would share the details and in a way to not throw the referee under the bus (not saying I think you believed anything different than what you said). I knew you'd handle it with class, yet be straight. I agree the match ended with the proper result, and appreciate how it was handled. Happy to hear Preston is on the road to recovery. I will say I think the comment about him walking around was initially misconstrued. I believe he said he was standing and talking. On camera it did appear as he was standing, but couldn't tell if it was on his own or with help. And not serious could simply mean something dire such as paralysis seemed to be avoided at that point. I don't think there was any negative intent with the comment. The bottom line is kudos to how it was handled and hopefully there is a quick recovery. Good luck at State.

SIACfan Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I have attended every SS that has been in Evansville. This was not the first time in the ticket round that a controversial illegal move has been called resulting in injury. But it is the first time that I have seen the offended coach/wrestler do the right thing. Cudos to Coach Snyder & Preston Haines!

M109R Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It did not look like Malicious intent by Henderson but what a class move by Snyder . Hope Haines makes a full recovery. Jayruss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdiggity Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I’m going to share this story with my son. We all know it occurs but I’ve always prayed that this never happens to him (either the giving or receiving end, intentional or non intentional). Hats off to the BB coaches and definitely a good situational dinner table topic with your athletes. Well wishes for a speedy recovery for Preston.
