What suggestion do you have that will be good for the sport as a replacement for our team series? There will still be a "team" champion that will be crowned, the only problem is that it will in no wa be an acurate indication of who the best team is. It will show who has the most top end guys, but not the best full team. I do not see how anyone could think that this is good for our sport. We may lose or team championship and it will be replaced by an inferior system that doesn't show us who truelly has the best team.
Oscar you have said, and others seem to feel that the team side is mainly driven by coaches ego. Why do you, or others feel this is the case. Why not celebrate our top teams? How is this different from anyother team sport. Team sports show who have the best collection of talent, not which team has the best couple of guys. The team series pushes all 14 of the kids, and the JV kids, not just the top individuals. It is not a selfish endevour, but one that pushes our coaches to work for all of their kids, not just the most talented ones. If it were classed it would effect even more kids. If it is lost we will never have it classed.
This is a huge issue for our wrestling community and we need to fight for it. If it is lost wrestling as a team sport will in many ways be lost in our state as well. Please tell me how this is good for our sport.
