Story our coach got from this weekend....
Buzzer above mat goes off, not the clock for that mat.... top wrestler stops wrestling, bottom guy gets up and faces him... ref gives a point.... top guys' coach questions the call, but not really argues... ref goes to table, comes back and takes point back. Bottom guys' coach then ask the ref what the heck is going on, the ref says "buzzer interference" to which c0ach says, " I didn't know that was a rule"... the ref then replies " It isn't, I just made it up"
Buzzer interference... now that is a good one coming from a ref who is supposedly qualified to do matches that determine who advances in the state finals.... smokey this is regionals, not nam... there are rules here, there is no oops sorry you stopped the buzzer mustve interfered with your ability to keep wrestling.... no worries, we'll fix it rule. Am I Wrong?!?
But it made for a good laugh on the way home. Luckily it didn't cost the kid the match.
