Indiana has some pretty stupid rules "that" seem to have no good reason for existing. The IHSAA seems "to" be very stubborn as well in never changing their minds. While I agree they should not change moratorium week just for wrestling, they need to be more open minded. One example of possibly the dumbest high school athletic rule IN THE ENTIRE NATION is the 300 mile border rule. All it does is hinder our state's development and prevent athletes from getting ready for the next level.
At 220 it has Kobe Woods win vs. Streck by pin. Is there another Streck at 220 or somewhere? Under Shawn Streck's notables Woods is not listed as a loss. Please clarify.
Agreed. Even a team with 6 state champs that technically qualifies for the Team State Duals and all six wrestlers pin every opponent in every dual still has no chance at beating a team with a full roster. They would be taking up a spot for another team and completely defeating the purpose of the Team State Duals.
Probably a mixture of both. Their recruiting is poor and the talent they do get doesn't get developed like it should. A couple of the big guys like Powless and Chalfant were able to develop because that is where Goldman's strengths are. Everyone below 197 is at a disadvantage. Oh you know, just 80% of the team...
Yeah you are right, but I guess going off the rule posted above it is just stated as a fall. My point being whether it is a defensive fall, offensive fall, or self fall, whoever's shoulders are down is pinned.
The bottom guy does not even have to have a move in for a defensive pin to be called. If the top guy is doing some sort of pinning combination such as a cradle or a mills roll, exposing the bottom guys back but not pinning him, the top guy can get pinned if he gets too lazy and puts both shoulders or scapula down. Even though both are on their back and the wrestler with the cradle is in complete control, he can pin himself without the help of the wreslter he is cradling.
You have a point but refs tend to not call stalling points until the third period. If this wrestler would have been doing the same exact thing at the end of the first period the stalling most likely would not have been called (which is bogus). I have seen other states call stalling as early as 3 seconds into a match. Indiana refs act like stalling isn't a thing until the third period. But hey, the kid probably was stalling and should have gotten called for it. Refs shouldn't be so reluctant to make the call no matter what part of the match it is.
