  1. A parent from Penn told me the IHSAA is fining Coach Harper $500. Is that standard practice to fine a coach?
  2. Sometimes people don't want to hear about subjects they disagree with. Like, the opinion that Indiana is suffering because we don't have classes for wrestling. That just automatically gets you booed by some people. Ignore them. Post what you feel is right and respectful. Not necessary what others want to hear.
  3. There is a tremendous build up of gook on these windows, too.
  4. This is all excellent news! Perhaps it is just some of the tournaments I have went to that refused to use matside. However, I have only been to two locations (Penn & Jimtown) that used matside pairings. I mean, where they actually have a pairing person near the mat and not in some backroom a mile away. I guess my core suggestion is the ISWA should no longer allow local clubs to pair a tournament however the want. Personally, I would like to see it like Michigan or Wisconsin, where you follow the matside & staggered start, or otherwise the event is not sanctioned. The ISWA lays down the law in whole bunch of areas with coaches, clubs and wrestlers. The pairings people should be no different.
  5. It is astounding how few seats Merrillville has compared to the other 3 semi-state locations. What time did you guys get home from NC, Evansville or Ft. Wayne. By the time I drove back to school, unloaded our gear, got the guys home, and finally walked in my front door it was 1:05 a.m. when I returned from Merrillville
  6. In Michigan it's mostly high school wrestlers running the matside pairings. Generally, it is one pairing person per 2 mats. And it is challenging to mess up a line bracket event. Indy Nationals and Folkstyle state both have a double start times for specific groups around 8am/1 pm. That is wonderful! However, the ISWA needs to push the double start down to our regular tournaments, too.
  7. So, are they going to be 'home schooled' for a year? Or will they repeat the 8th grade? Btw, if a child repeats the 6th or 7th grade, does that mean they could wrestle ISWA Middle School State a total of 4 times in their middle school career?
  8. Here is how they run tournaments in Michigan (myway) and Wisconsin (usa wrestling). PeeWee, Batam, Intermediate 9-12:30. Novice, Schoolboy, Cadet 12:30-4. My sons generally wrestle 5 matches in two hours at these tournaments. Very rare we are ever at the school more than 3 hours total. The boys are wrestling about every 20 minutes. And these are large tournaments or 500 wrestlers. The ISWA leaders need to be authoritative and modernize pairings. Heck, if the ISWA ever wanted to undercut HYWAY, the manner in which to do so would be take the matside pairings & double start time (9am/12:3opm) and make it even better and faster.
  9. ISWA tournaments are going to start ramping up soon. I am very excited, but also a little worried. I grew up in Indiana wrestling ISWA. But I lived in Michigan from 1996-2008. My sons wrestled MYWAY up there. When I moved back to Indiana in 2008, I was shocked at how long tournaments took cause of pairings. One of my sons is now talking about not wrestling ISWA tourneys because it just kills a whole Saturday. Is the ISWA going to demand that all the regular tournaments use matside pairings? ISWA can't let this continue.
  10. Wow, what an inaccurate assessment. I read the email and weigh that against the wrestlers & coaches perspective and say now we have about six different versions of the 'truth.' Imagine if Carmel was playing Ben Davis in the basketball SS. And it was a similar situation. A clock was not stopped during an out of bounds. So the official decides with his crew that he will just count off five more seconds. Yet the players and coaches from Carmel say they never heard the official say a word about the five extra seconds. The buzz sounds & the clock reads :00 and Carmel walks off the court and Ben Davis drops in a lay up to win the game a few seconds after the buzzer. Ben Davis is declared the winner. B0y, that would be national news. I would be in court today getting an injunction against the IHSAA if this was my kid.
  11. You can always come up to Merrillville for the mistreatment of a lifetime.
  12. No, Rochester regional is not Da Region. Rochester regional contains schools in the towns of Bremen, Culver, Mishawaka, Rochester and South Bend. The big players at this regional are Mishawaka, Penn, SB Clay and SB Riley. Most of the Da Region schools are in the Calumet or LaPorte regional.
  13. Is Goshen HS going to have that tournament they call the Northern Indiana Open in March like they do every year? I have not seen anything on their web site, or anywhere else, about it this year?
  14. I am just one coach. But if you fail to class the individual tournament first, I am out. Our team and high schools does not have the depth to compete in the team tourney. I would be happy to support classing the team tourney, but only if the individual is classed first. Otherwise, I think all the big school program coaches who ignored the class discussion for the last 10 years will go right back to focusing on the team tourney and the 95% of us who don't have those type of resources will just get ignored again. That is why I am not going to the clinic on Friday night. I don't care about saving Team State because Perry, Merrillville, Mishawaka, Ben Davis, Carmel, etc. could have cared less about those of us in the other 95% for the last 10 years. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like 'eye for an eye' but I do hope some people are taught a lesson from this ordeal.
  15. We probably all have heard a wrestler or coach say that if a person stands on their head prior to stepping on a scale, they will weigh lighter. I have tried this a few times over the years with inconclusive results. Does anyone know if such a claim is scientifically accurate? If found this on the web at the Mythbusters site: http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9701967776/m/3691904399 "imagine a box with a ball in it, it has a certain weight. Now you flip the box and weight it really quick, before the ball reaches the bottom of the box again, you find a lower weight. That's the idea behind this myth. However: as the ball lands the box puts a greater force on the scale, so you'd have to wight yourself as the blood is speeding up, not as it's slowing down again, that would only make you appear heavier. This myth is not about changing your mass, it's about changing the force you produce pushing down on the scale."
  16. I think the IHSAA created the problem with incorrect data on their web site. About two years ago, the IHSAA redid their web site. It was obvious that somebody at the IHSAA, or a subcontractor, reentered the history of state finals matches for that new web page. I think TAE just became confused because of the similar situation Terry had two years prior combined with the inaccurate IHSAA web site data.
  17. That is one of the funniest stories I've ever heard.
  18. Sara is one of the better female wrestlers in the country. She could quite possibly be on the women Olympic team some day. Regardless of the SS results, she and Denton are a good match up.
