...I'm not happy I've added to the instability because Fishers is a great place to be with great people, but I wanted to be in the Region closer to more of my family, friends, and wife. I'm not sad about it though, as I have a great school that gives me a better opportunity to coach, teach, and live the best I can. To get back to Ed's original ideas... Transferring wrestlers limit the sport's broad appeal by concentrating it to a single place. With increased transferring, we see situations that change the concentration of state placers. Instead of the typical 7 placers coming from about five schools, we get 7 placers coming from 3 schools. I enjoy the big picture argument that Ed is making. I feel that most of the comments on this post are "off topic"...but I also understand that they are off topicbecause almost all of us live our lives and participate in this sport attempting to achieve specific goals for specific people--most often ourselves and our children. The big picture is never the most pressing issue to any of our lives. Because of this, Ed's thoughts should be considered more thoughtfully by all of us. He is asking us to think about the sport of wrestling as if the sport was a person. What would you do if the entire sport of wrestling was a kid you were supposed to coach? Would you want the entire sport to concentrate its talents in a few places, or would you want the entire sport to try to develop its talents in all positions?

Seems as though in today’s liberal society we our being hit in the face with movements. These movements have the purpose to save people, places, or things. I propose the “Not here!” movement. This movement is 100 percent do not transfer. If a stud (8th grade and up) moves into your school district, you make them sit a season. “But wait” you say... “what if my AD doesn’t let me sit them?” To that, we at the “Not Here” movement say... “your the coach, you set the line up. Put them on JV for the season.” I propose that all coaches that feel as if transfers are “killing” are sport, join this “Not Here” movement! With this said, how many coaches are willing to do there part in putting an end to this transfer thing?? Anyone.... anyone... ???? Of couse I do not support the movement that I made up. The thing is this... what good does it do to talk about this when not one coach turns away a stud??? No need to talk about it if nobody is will to take action. Anonymous letters to the IHSAA don’t seem to be working either! This is my point... it is what it is. If we as a wrestling community see a neighboring school’s program failing, then we need to step up and help when we can. That’s gonna to help keep wrestling alive in communities way more than harping on 10 or do transfers statewide per year. All this talk and no solutions is solving nothing. Just my opinion. #NotHere! (Who’s with me!!!!)

I hate to burst your bubble, but winning a state title in Indiana does very little to boost your college stock. Placing at the big national events does more for you than anything. Thus transferring so you get into a "high profile" program won't do you any good unless you hit the national scene AND have success. We have had many multiple time state champs that never sniffed national rankings due to not having the national success. On top of that if you want to wrestle in college you can, most schools not DI will take walkons and they don't care if you were a state placer or even a lowly semi-state qualifier. I know Indiana Tech has done quite well with some kids that never made it to state. I am sure if you show interest in them Tommy will take you. That goes along with any of the smaller schools in the state. Ask @dstruck how to get a kid that isn't a state qualifier onto a college team.
