Gary, your statement is flawed and has holes in it. If you were a fictional writer i would have an easier time believing this. Let’s not forget I have 18 minutes and 8 seconds of this entire conversation being recorded which Robert knew was being recorded that proves the hats left the building after Robert told me to take them out. So, I did in fact, choose the right path, and still was ejected.
I guess the quote from A.J Bradley this morning has you baffled! You might want to go back and read it. He heard you tell your girls and I quote “ Girls keep your hats on we don’t bow down to anyone.”

IHSGW Report on January 12th incident at Kokomo Memorial Coliseum.docx
IHSGW Report on January 12th incident at Kokomo Memorial Coliseum
First, I want to put in writing how the info was put out to the coaches and athletic directors across the state concerning the hats with glitter and feathers attached to them. I obtained a copy of all the coaches and athletic directors emails from the IHSAA. I sent out an official email to all stating that the hats presented a problem to the mats. I had asked permission to borrow the IHSAA mats and they would truck them in and let us borrow them for the event which we were very excited about. The problem lies in the fact that the boys would be using these mats the next month, and I was told to return them undamaged.
I made a decision to keep the hats with glitter and feathers attached to them out of the arena. The week before, the hats presented a problem because the glitter was getting ground into the mats through the course of the day. I heard a few complaints about the glitter getting in the eyes of the competitors. Now in my email, I state I just didn’t want the glitter damaging the mats and thought well that should be enough. I should have also included the safety risk but just saying please don’t bring them should have been enough.
When I obtained the list and went through it after the tournament it still had New Palestine’s athletic director’s email on it but from his last job. The head coach is new so his wasn’t on there either. With that being said, Mr. Andrew Frey listed as the boys/girls coach was told personally by Randall Hayes, our head official, not to bring the hats and why. This information was given to him the Monday before the state at a boy’s seeding meeting they were both at.
The coach told this to Jason Delois during the week. No email would have reached Mr. Delois because he is a volunteer coach but he was told not to bring those hats according to the head coach, Mr. Frey.
The reasons Mr. Delois received 2 unsportsman-like calls are as follows: (The whole incident was filed by the referees witnessing the violations as they occurred.)
1. Mr. Delois was told when entering the event that the hats could not be worn into the arena because of the mandate put out by me, Gary Myers. Mr. Delois disregarded that instruction and kept walking with the team. He then gets to the main gym with the hats still on and was told a second time by the host school that the hats could not be worn into the gym and why. Each time he was asked he disregarded the host schools directive. Randal Hayes, head official, Curt Crouch official, Pat Culp Tournament Director and IHSAA Official, Robert Faulkens all told him to get the hats out of the event. They all were disregarded and Mr. Delois said to them this is ridiculous and he continued to defy all directives.
2. At no time after these violations were written up did it say Mr. Delois was banned from the IHSAA. The unsportsmanlike calls are for Mr. Delois’ behavior once he arrived at the event. If you are a coach that reads the rules you know that once these are written up you have to sit the next dual meet or tourney. Now, the girl’s season has concluded so this doesn’t really affect girl’s future duals or tournaments for this season.
3. Debris on the mat is not allowed under any circumstance for the athlete’s safety. Glitter can get into a wrestler’s eyes and cause damage. It is as simple as that. During my conversation with Mr. Delois, I looked at him and said “Do you realize that you have glitter under your eye?” Hence proving my point.
4. Mr. Delois should have apologized and took the hats to his bus and that would have been the end of it. Sadly, that was not the path he chose. Mr. Delois had the option, over the next 30 minutes, to choose his course of action. He did not choose the likely path of sportsmanship and leadership. Mr. Delois chose defiance, disrespect, and the blatant disregard for the rules. This is why actions were taken against his behavior.
5. One other coach was written up the same way Mr. Delois was and they left the floor and building immediately. I just want to personally say that this is unfortunate as we are trying to build women’s wrestling and nobody wants anyone to leave a sporting event. However, when one person decides to disregard the rules there has to be a consequence especially when it affects the safety of others.

The Regional at Southridge wasn't canceled, and we had kids who placed in the top 4 and kids who didn't. So, am I only to take my kids who finished in the top 4, or am I to take all my kids who signed up for the Regional to State?
All kids qualify!

Did I somehow miss an email about entering head-to-heads or are we seeding solely on regional placement?
I just by placement for the most part.

So are they making it so that there will be 16 girls in each weight at semi state. So some regional 5th and even 6th place girls will get in?
Yes we are filling the brackets with as many as needed. But we will only pull from the 4 regionals in a semi state. Not outside any semi-states.
-
Brackets are being uploaded now it took me all of last night and since early this morning until just now to get the correct girls in. They will be released sometime tomorrow depending on how fast we can get them in. A lot of girls are going to be excited for an opportunity to get a second shot at the coveted state title.

There is an unnecessary level to the girls state series. 2 levels would be plenty.
Look last year there was 2 levels we didn’t get out of Warren Central till after 1am for the semi-state like all the other 3 that were going on. We expanded anticipating over 1,000 girls this year. We didn’t want to have our girls traveling home at those hours of the night. So will stay at 3 levels and it will keep filling up until we are able to expand again.
-
Ok so there won’t be holes and forfeits at all. We have always filled the weight classes at the next level. There will be some 5th and maybe some 6th places move onto the Semi-State. Since the beginning we have brought girls back in to fill up weights. So everyone will get a shot that deserves it. Like I can remember not to long ago that their was just 1 or 2 girls in the south regional and we just brought the 5th and 6th place in leveled it out from the north. We will immediately know after the the tourneys completed who to notify for them to come back in for the semi-state.

With Rochester being moved to a different semi-state are they just hosting, or will their girls participate in their old regional/semi-state?
We are using this past year since we have been working on this for the past 9 months so next year it will change.

Here are two oldies from Muncie Southside:
Donald Pritchard won state his Junior year at HW in 1975, and that was his only year making it!!!!
Michael Holmes won it at 126 his senior year in 1975.
2 wrestlers won it their only time there, and led the team to the state title as well!!!
They also had a guy that never to my knowledge and to my oldest brother’s knowledge before his senior year and he got to the finals in 1975 at 167lbs Chuck Evans. Also on a side note Donald Prichard won the state his junior year but his senior year was dismissed from the team after a mid season tourney.
-
I can think of 2 champions and a runner up in 1975. 126lbs Mike Holmes and 177lbs Don Prichard. They also had Chuck Evans who placed 2nd in his first appearance as seniors for Muncie Southside and they won the team title that year. All 3 in their first appearance at state. 2 have passed and Mike Holmes is doing great.

Or they come right into practice yelling at the coach when they don’t have a clue as to what is going on.
