Tom,

I know I went to a class back in the day in 1997.  It was very good and I learned a lot.  Has there ever been talk of doing something like that regionally?   

I think they tried regional clinics at one time, however attendance was low and the ISWA decided to have the clinic at a central location. There used to be two types of clinics offered. An advanced clinic and a clinic for new officials.  I remember the first full year I was here-97- I conducted the clinic and there was about 75 people in attendance. This year we were lucky to have had 10 people in attendance.

Why should any club be responsible to bring officals,  ISWA should contact and pay for them and please dont go to the local elementry to find them.

 

What training opportunities to freestyle officials get from either USA wrestling or ISWA?

There is an annual clinic at the begining of each season. The clinic date is listed in the annual publication and on the ISWA website.

Why should any club be responsible to bring officals,  ISWA should contact and pay for them and please dont go to the local elementry to find them.

This used to be a requirement for the clubs. About 10 years or so ago we had one referee per mat (20 mats)  from Indiana at the Jr Nationals in Fargo. Also during this time we had adults on every mat at the state finals.

Brey,

Please give documented examples of how money goes into "people's pockets" with USAW.

He was granted his release from Iowa State. He has stated he will visit Penn State and Ohio State for certain.

Awesome performance Reece!

I know for a fact the National Greco Coaches are amazed by Reece's natural talent.

Personal note to Reece,

Y2 has referred to our beloved university on my Facebook page as Bridesmaid University. Keep that in mind the next time you need a drill partner from the Greco clinch.

If the score is 0-0 in the 1st period red goes on top.

If the score is 0-0 in the 2nd period-no matter who won or had the clinch in the 1st period-blue will clinch.

 

Is this a very recent rule change?  My interpretation of the wording of the rule was that if the first period did not go to a clinch (i.e., tech or pinning situation), then red would be on top in the second period in the case of a 0-0 score.

 

Also, the wording I read gave choice of top or bottom in the event of a 0-0 score.  Is this not the case?

These rules are what we received at the European Championships.

One last question

 

How does someone with a degree from Ohio State understand these rules? 

I believe it's more impressive that I can explain it well enough for you to understand it.

If the score is 0-0 in the 1st period red goes on top.

If the score is 0-0 in the 2nd period-no matter who won or had the clinch in the 1st period-blue will clinch.

I am shocked

He would most likely say "Earth.  Why do you ask?"

Drooke,

Have you ever had  conversation with Ray?

Allyourbase can probably verify that although Ray is near genius level, he is also "way out there".

I have stories to share when I have more time.

Most of the time I would like to ask Ray what planet he is from.

I heard this story second hand so take it for what it's worth....

In the late 80's a guy takes his Mom and Dad to an Iowa match. There is a guy on the Iowa bench doing all kinds of crazy stuff during the match....twisting...turning...jumping up and down...looking like he's wrestling the match himself. The guy's Mom says to him something like "That's nice of Gable to let that mentaly handicaped man sit on the bench with the team."

The guy then looks at his Mom and says...."Um, that's Barry Davis. He's an assistant coach.

Well Mr. Clark make sure you talk to your Ref friends and tell them to learn how to call stalling Consistently ;D.  They banged Iowa alll daggone weekend with stalling, and dictated several of the matches... last 45 seconds Caldwell ran from Metcalf and not 1 stall call.  And how about hte Howe match they let that kid take how many ever little breaks he needed.  If they would have called that  match like they have called most of Iowa matches Howe would have won by DQ do to stalling.

 

I feel bad for him he out wrestled outhustled the other wrestler.

 

 

I have agreed with you twice in one day. That's a new world record. I will alert the media.

All Caldwell intened to do was hurt Metcalf's feelings. Metcalf intended to injure Caldwell.

Proper call may have been Unsportsmanlike Conduct on Caldwell and flagreant Misconduct on Metcalf.

Interesting side note...the referee who worked the match is the son of the Head Official of the NCAA. He is an outstaning referee and I don't mean anything by that at all.

Guy does a flip with time left on the clock and thats not  unsportsmanlike?  Hell he is lucky he didn't get shoved off the stage!!!  Metcalf def didn't handle it well but wow no call on the flip is crazy.

Agreed

My unbiased opinion and I will tell Tom Brands this when I see him at the National Open is it should have been Flagrant Misconduct.

There is NO place for garage like this in wrestling. Period!

A superb tactical match by  Reece.

Go Bucks!

I heard Coach Weimer couldn't get a takedown shadow wrestling

Lt. Dan...ICE CREAM!!!!!!

It does, and I think they make kids from small schools drive horse and buggies or walk without shoes if they want to practice with someone outside their district.  Lucky kid.

So you can name one frickin kid from a small school that has had success.  Why aren't there more?  Tell me why there aren't thousands of kids in Indiana at the collegiate level from schools of 600 students.  I'm curious to know the answer, because I have no clue why there aren't more.

Calm down and have some of the ice cream you brought home from Happy Valley

Fair enough

You are correct you did not say you didn't know a thing about bowling.

Your comments directed at good people who were trying to do something for the youth of  Indiana when they could have been doing anythig else was a "bad call"

I wasn't there (which is an interesting story) so I can't really comment on YOUR opinion.

I will make this comment however. Similar to your bowling analogy....if you don't know the first thing about it...don't complain. Those guys worked their butts off for two days so your kids would have a chance to wrestle in a safe environment.

If there were mistakes made-and there probably were, we are all human-they were not intentional. So you saw some bad calls. Were they all bad? Did they make more good calls than bad? Were all of your coaching, spectator and parenting decisons exactly right today?

BOOYAH!!!!!!!

 

When was the last time a true frosh won the Big Ten's?
