    I just wanted to acknowledge this point: “I think we agree that it's something we can't put on the referee as a judgement call, as that would be a slippery slope.” That’s a good point and makes total sense. I agree. I’m going to try and ask my initial question in a better way so that I understand. Currently, the protocol is that if a wrestler calls for injury timeout, no matter the circumstance, even if everyone in the building knows he’s only trying to avoid getting scored on, or get a breather because he’s gassed, he gets the time out, no question asked? That is the correct way a referee is supposed to handle it according to the rules and how refs are trained to handle it? And there is no recourse other than if they do it a second time the opponent gets choice of position? Please don’t read any sarcasm into this or take it as a statement of what’s right or wrong, I just simply want to know what the current protocol is.

    I agree with using actual data, because going by anecdotal information can definitely tell a different story. However, it seems like a real issue. If there is in fact an increase in these instances, I wonder why?

    No offense taken, I just wanted to be clear that I wasn’t making myself out to be some expert. I truly am seeking to understand.

    I apologize, it was not my intent to suggest they diagnose. I’m not suggesting anyone do anything, I am just asking what the protocol is. I’m just trying to understand how it works currently. When a wrestler asks for a time out, do they have to say what the injury is? Can a ref ask what their injury is? Again, I’m trying to come at this as a learner and understand what I’m seeing on the mat, not offer a solution.

    I am so glad this subject has been brought up. I agree that this is becoming a consistent occurrence. I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to the rules, just a fan and dad. It sounds like everyone agrees that a competitor’s superior conditioning should not be allowed to be canceled out by this practice. In these cases, can the referee not ask what the injury is? Or just simply say are you hurt or just out of breath? It sure seems like there’s an opportunity for improvement here. I don’t know if a rule change is in order, or if the refs need to be better prepared/trained on how to handle this, but I’m glad the discussion is happening.
