Christian Mejia Friday night.

It's a judgmental call, one may see it one way and the other sees it differently. And as you saw Saturday there was absolutely no consistency on any call.

Scholar:  Harrison and Jeff aren't small schools.  Delphi has had more success than all the Lafayette schools combined in the last few years...Atwood, Lynde and Mote...they qualify as a small school.

Yep, you're a perfect guy I'm sure Nick. I used to watch you wrestle. You "whined"a few times. Preach to all of us. Message boards are for sharing people's passionate thoughts. You've spouted plenty of your opinions on here. Nobody on here has named the official or demeaned him. The conversation is primarily about a coaches ethics of lack thereof, depending on your perspective. The message board allows people to vent. Thank goodness. Wrestling coaches and families need it sometimes. Thanks Y2!

EXACTLY! A lot of people lost respect for him today!

I don't think you'll find a person in the stands who thought stalling should've been called on McCartney! He was clearly the one working! Demien was down 2-1 and wasn't getting up so Harper yells stalling to bail his kid. Harper wasn't coaching his kid, he was coaching the ref. I witnessed the same thing 2 years ago at Rochester Regionals when one of the Penn kids stalled the ENTIRE match and a stall call was called on a Culver kid who was clearly pushing the pace and attacking legs costing him a Regional Championship.

I don't think anyone in the stands ever saw the stall warning called! It was just "Bam! 1 point for Demien". It was udder crap!

Thanks to Harp for working the refs!! Theft at 120! McCartney had it stolen. Ref 12. Stalling with 7 seconds left to send it to OT. How sad

It is not a coaches job to win at ALL costs. When a coach yells something he knows is not true, he is being unethical. Harper yelled stalling when he knew McCartney had a leg Turk in, which he knows is a pinning combination. Many coaches are disappointed, even coaches who know Harper well. They thought he crossed the line. What example is a coach setting for his wrestlers, when he wins at all costs? Is it okay if wrestlers do the same? Lie, cheat for a victory? Anybody who supports that isn't sportsmanlike. One of the coaches for Harrison, Hinkel, is the former Purdue coach, who coached Harper at Purdue. He received a penalty point for telling the official that the leg Turk is a pinning combination. Harper complained all through the match and received no penalty.

Coaches unaffiliated with either team said... before it was called..."Watch Harper, he's begging and his kid isn't working. They should call it on his kid."

McCartney had an obvious leg Turk in, for 15 secs and Harper screamed stalling a few times and Voila! The ref obliged with 7 secs left. 2nd year in a row for a good kid from Logan Reg to get derailed by a bad call. Bad calls are part of sports, but it seemed very unfair to most people watching...even many Penn folks were surprised. Coaches should coach their kid, but not purposely try to get a ref to cheat another kid.
