13% of the 7 footers should still be at small schools.
-
This does not mesh with your argument that each Individual is equal.
-
Of course it's illogical. Geez. If all individuals are equal (which is your contention) that is what the numbers should be. The numbers are not even close to 33.3% because individuals are not equal. Individuals not being equal is justification for classing. Your stance on this is issue is logically inconsistent.
-
Again. It is not an all or nothing proposition. More success and more recognition will logically cause more wrestlers to place a higher priority on off season opportunities, thus improving their overall skill level.
-
No. Pointing out a logical fallacy is not an argument from emotion. I think we are all seeing the same thing from the statistics. It is whether anything should be done about it or not is where the debate has evolved.
-
Its a fact that some said this. It is an argument from emotion to use this as justification for keeping the tournament the same. I didn't think we were debating whether or not the statement was made.
-
This is an argument from emotion. Argument from emotion
-
This has been discussed ad nauseam as well. More success and more recognition would logically lead to more interest. More interest logically leads to more time spent. Maybe a camp in the summer, maybe more attendance at optional open mats, maybe more ISWA/HYWAY meets. Kids don't have to be "all in" and specialize to improve.
-
Statistics and data generally are more persuasive that arguments from emotion.
-
Yet in Indiana our state association sponsors a tournament that demands year round commitment as early as possible to compete at the state level. Illogical.
-
Im asking for your opinion. You have consistently avoided the question often with a sarcastic tone. I am wondering why?
-
you still haven't given an honest answer on why you think other states class wrestling.
-
How do you know those 12 kids on a 1A team are there by default? They might all have been working their tail off since 1st grade.
-
Borta finished 6th and 7th I think.
-
I will be interested in your findings.

You have said that you tell your kids that want to reach state, they should train 365 wrestling. I think any high school sport that demands that much is bad for kids in general but especially bad for kids and programs at smaller schools
-
I think you are saying they are wrong. Unless Indiana is a special case? No one said it isn't possible. I coach at a school less than half the size of NM and have been on staff that has coached 2 state champs in the last 5 years, I certainly know it's possible. Just because it's possible does't make it right.
-
What data? You have mentioned one school with a good wrestling program (subjective) that has 50% or higher free and reduced? Is 50% a high percentage, a low percentage. How am I to evaluate this piece of datum?? It should really be in a different thread, this thread is about enrollment, not free and reduced lunches.
-
Does not the IHSAA award a TEAM trophy? They seem to think it is a TEAM sport too. Just curious as to why you think Iowa, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio have it wrong and you have it right?
-
I would argue that he would have had a great experience with his classmates playing football and his wrestling would not have suffered.
-
16 pages and we agree that school size matters.
-
As a football coach did you ever ask Nick why he didn't play football? I remember him as physical tough kid, he surely could have helped your team. Did his not playing football or soccer or x-country enhance his wrestling in anyway?
-
Do you really think Zac was forced to play football? Do you really think a kid that is forced to play a sport is worth a damn to whatever team? I would say kids should be HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to do multiple sports at small schools for both their and the school's benefit. Most 14 year old kids lack the maturity to make wise decisions. The best kid I ever coached did not want to do a spring sport to focus on wrestling. I highly encouraged him to run track. He was able to have a great experience running track and still reach all of his high school wrestling goals.
-
I don't get it? On one hand you don't want to "water down" the tournament but in another post you advocate for having more qualifiers?? Very confusing
