  1. Ohio originally. Fishers/Noblesville area when he moved to Indiana.
  2. I can add some older options for HSE to your list... Brent Farrell - qualifier and 2nd in 1996 to James Brimm Spencer Irick - qualifier and 3rd in 2016 with memorable upset over Davison on Friday night. Pat Robinson - 3rd in 2010 with close battles to the champ and runner up that year Austin Neibarger - 8th and 5th in 2013, but the 8th place was for Cathedral freshman year Thomas Pompei - 6th in 2006 and now head coach for Indiana Tech
  3. I'm imagining the realistic scenario of a JV tournament with 2 wrestlers from the same team facing each other, and no coaches in either corner or just 1 coach sitting quietly in one corner. Many teams don't like coaching against their own wrestlers, so this happens quite a bit.

  5. My best guess is that Joe is calmly pointing out locked hands to the ref.
  6. I agree that they are both very deep conferences. The 2 schools in the HCC that didn't get a qualifier are Hamilton Southeastern and Westfield. Both of those schools have solid, ranked, state-caliber wrestlers that just didn't get through semi state.
  7. Hoosier Crossroads Conference Avon - 5 Brownsburg - 9 Fishers - 2 Franklin Central - 2 Noblesville - 2 Zionsville - 3 Total Qualifiers - 23 1st at Semi State - 7 2nd at Semi State - 7 3rd at Semi State - 6 4th at Semi State - 3
  8. Around 10 years ago, the NFHS changed/clarified the rule that allows coaches to default their wrestler at any time - even during recovery time. Before that change, the only way to "do the right thing" would be to have the injured wrestler line up for the ref to blow the whistle then stop the match to default - which is even more dangerous for the injured wrestler. It was a good rule change designed for rare situations exactly like this one.
  9. When has the IHSAA ever made a decision based on "logic"?
  10. Oh no! Hopefully this doesn't become BracketGate2024
  11. I just want to clarify what is being proposed here... If a wrestler asks the ref to stop or pause the match for the 1st injury time, then choice of position is given to the opponent. But if a wrestler is trying to keep going and the ref notices a possible injury so the match is stopped to check on the wrestler and that results in the 1st injury time, then no choice of position is given. The difference is who initiates the injury time to be taken - the wrestler or the ref. I can agree with it used like this. But I don't agree with automatically giving choice on the first injury time for high school kids.
  12. I wouldn't be surprised if the AI thinks Bellmont and Belmont are two different schools and not combining their successes. How is it supposed to know that half the state can't spell the school correctly?
  13. Here's a crazy idea that I haven't thought all the way through yet... What if we kept the riding time point without backpoints, but if a wrestler gets called for stalling on top, he loses all of his riding time advantage (back to 0:00)? I think the stalling criteria has become much more objective (especially on top) so it isn't completely putting it in the ref's hands, but it would encourage more activity on top working for a turn without penalizing a wrestler whose opponent is good at defending turns. Again, I haven't thought this through, but it at first glance it seems that this would accomplish the same goal while still rewarding a dominant, aggressive wrestler.
  14. Top wrestler is rewarded by not giving up an escape point. If you can get away in less than a minute and your opponent can't, then you're a point ahead. I'd treat the pinning combination like when refs wait to award nearfall until the hold is released. If someone has gotten a turn (or more), then he is most likely ahead in points. From a fan perspective, I'd prefer to see them back on their feet for a more exciting finish instead of the guy ahead just riding him out for the win.
  15. We could make it simpler and create more action if... When a wrestler gets on top (takedown, reversal, or start of 2nd/3rd period), the clock starts - always starts from zero. After 1 minute, if not in a pinning situation/hold, stop the match and start them in neutral with no escape point. This basically gives the "point" advantage to the one who rides for a minute straight. And it allows both wrestlers the same chance for it in 2nd/3rd period. More neutral helps create more action, but still rewards those who can ride and punishes those who can't get out on bottom.
