    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

    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.

    My best guess is that Joe is calmly pointing out locked hands to the ref.

    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.

    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.

    When has the IHSAA ever made a decision based on "logic"?
  10. GrecoCoach
    Oh no! Hopefully this doesn't become BracketGate2024

    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.

    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?

    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. GrecoCoach
    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. GrecoCoach
    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.

    The match at 152 is the only finals match that does not include a wrestler from Brownsburg, Center Grove, or Crown Point. Even more interesting, in all the other 13 finals matches, Brownsburg, Center Grove, and Crown Point never wrestle each other head to head.

    That's a rematch from last year's semistate. Branham upset Burgett in overtime last year.

    The IHSAA should not be able to dictate what teams are allowed at events outside of Indiana. If they want to limit our own travel, that's within their power. If they want to limit who Indiana schools can host, that's also within their power (arguably). But the rule as it has stood for decades for events outside of Indiana within 300 miles is the problem. We used to go to a holiday tournament in Ohio and worked with their AD to make sure all the schools were within Indiana's 300 mile rule. After the first couple of years going, their AD wanted to expand the tournament to make it better, but some of the schools were a little farther than 300 miles. That Ohio school had to tell them no for us to be able to keep coming. Eventually we just dropped out of it so they could manage their own tournament how they wanted.

    And this is why vertical pairing was terrible. Because nobody understood it. First round losers DID NOT get paired with first round winners. There's a very structured criteria for pairing who wrestles whom next, and it has nothing to do with previous round results.

    I'd rather give my money to Flo instead of IHSAA

    If time is an issue for the IHSAA at semistate, they could set it up like state used to be. If the wrestler who beat you in the ticket round makes it to the finals, then you wrestle for 5th at the same time as 1st & 3rd. It's not full wrestlebacks, but it is a solution to those death draws that the IHSAA would consider.

    I want 2 sessions on Friday... Session 1 would be for pigtail matches to allow SS 5th & 6th placers to qualify Session 2 would be our normal Friday round Starting at 11 am would be plenty of time to do this.

    New Castle and Frankfort are in different regionals.
  25. GrecoCoach
    The swim teams would be the best comparison. Most schools only have 1 pool, but have boys, girls, youth club, and sometimes swim lessons all happening during the same season. Are the boys & girls swim teams allowed to practice together? Share coaches? I'd guess the IHSAA will keep that consistent with wrestling, too.
