If we give refs the authority to throw stalling calls around like coupons then we are going to see a lot more wrestlers underhooking and simply pushing the other opponent out of bounds just so they can possibly get a stalling call. In my mind this is by no means an agressive technique to taking down an opponent. Yet over again I see stalling calls hit on the other wrestler, who may even be trying to circle in bounds or shrug out, stil get hit with stalling all because one wrestler is a better "pusher". Also wrestling has evolved and wrestling from a knee is a tactic to gain lower and better position, if it was stalling then why does Jordan Burroughs do it directly before he blast doubles someone to the mat? Nearly every wrestler you see in the state finals now from 145 and lower are accustomed to wrestling from a knee agressively.
At the same note though I do believe there are cases where stalling needs to be called more habitually. I am mainly stating that I don't like wrestling when they simply fish for a stalling call rather than earning one.
