The 8 wrestlers and the coach should be suspended for the tournament as well as the school be put on probation for all sports due to this not only a state violation but a national one as well  

a forfeit is not a punishment that is a slap on the wrist........................................................

i am mad on the punishment and for the health both. this state athletic association just opened a new picture on things. what they now are telling kids coaches and parents is brake the rules and we wont punish you. i will tell you this state has no control and it starts at the top. i don't care what the coaches name is if this was the NCAA and this happened to Penn State in wrestling or Alabama or Clemson in football i would be my life earning that the players and coaches as well as the school its self would be punished... watch out state here comes more rules to be broke by everyone because of the lack of punishment in this situation and the lack of control you goofy looking commissioner has. Some example this states athletic association puts on......... people would be disgusted with the state and with  caramel for the lack of discipline but even worse be disgusted by the coach with the credentials and impact he has on the wrestling community to have that little control when he use to run CIA. This just shows you can pay your way out of any rule violation no matter if it is national rule or state way to go Carmel high school and way to go Bob cox and the IHSAA....

Why should any teams follow weight loss rules? If these kids or coaches aren't suspended, the IHSAA sets the precedent that nobody has to follow weight loss rules. Regardless of your thoughts on if they should/n't be allowed to wrestle, no punishment says that the "rules" are guidelines.

I’m pretty sure the so called sauna suits were “technically against the rules” even back in the 70’s when “everybody” was doing it.  (Or so I was told at the time.)  However, it was most generally overlooked kind of like driving a few miles over the speed limit.  I think at least a lot of schools were openly handing them out as standard practice equipment. And I think they must have been recognized as being POTENTIALLY dangerous even then or they probably wouldn’t have already been “technically against the rules”.  However, I think enforcement became more of a priority after some tragic events occurred (as has already been pointed out).  Of course, those tragic events were brought on by some very severe and extreme abuses.
Certainly, use of sauna suits can be potentially dangerous as are many rapid weight loss techniques.  Sauna suits are against the rules and so should not be used.  But if we are talking about potential risk and endangerment and not just about breaking rules, any method of losing large amount of weight rapidly through dehydration is fraught with equal risk.  For certain, to be losing 10 pounds via dehydration in a week (or even weekly?) certainly isn’t healthy and can cause not only short term but long term health risks.  So if we are castigating Carmel wrestling for breaking rules, okay.  But if we are tsk-tsk-ing them for potentially endangering the wrestlers, I think perhaps a lot of people better be wary of their own glass houses.    

I do find the punishment odd since Faulkens is the face of the weight management system.  

THE KIDS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WRESTLE END OF STORY. IF THIS WAS A SMALL SCHOOL BOB COX WOULD OF SAID YOU ARE DONE, HE HAS DONE THIS STUFF BEFORE HE LIKE TO PLEASE ALL THE BIG SCHOOL NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE THEY BRING IN THE MONEY FOR THE IHSAA. THE 8 WRESTLERS AND THE HEAD COACH SHOULD HAVE TO SIT OUT THE TOURNAMENT.
