Pin2win1, you really need to talk to a math guy. The larger the sampling, the closer to the actual value you will get. Look at a coin for example. Flip it 10 times, you may get 8T,2H's. Does this mean the coin was weighted or unfair? Flip it 40 more times, now you have 29T,21H. The more times you flip the coin, the closer you will get to 50%. Same applies for polls. The more people polled, the closer you would get the the theoretical value, in your example 35%.
Buscowrestling, you are a fairly new coach in the area, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt here, but if you put Whitko's coach at Carroll or Homestead for 3-5 years, there is little chance Garrett and Whitko would compete with them. If you could clone him, put him at Carroll and Whitko at the exact same time, Carroll would DOMINATE!!! If you don't believe that, you have much to learn. You are in a good situation at Busco because of the other coaches you work with outside of the wrestling program. They are phenomenal coaches and avid wrestling supporters, maybe that is part of why you like it there. When you put in the time that Y2 does in the off season with your kids, then he will probably listen to your points.
I have coached at both a large school and a small school, both of which had moderate success, both as a team and on an individual basis. I can tell you this, our best team at the small school (which would have competed with most school in the state that year) would have been smashed by our average teams when I was at the big school. The year after the best season in school history at the small school, we lost 20-25% of our wrestlers (not counting ones that graduated). That is the life of a small school, that doesn't typically happen at large schools. If it does, there is a ton more depth, so you reload, not rebuild.
Y2 and Karl have never made excuses for their kids losing and they work harder than anyone I know for kids,not their own personal gain or ego. I believe that is why they are passionate and a little irritated when someone says "Just work harder" or the best one "We wouldn't know the REAL champion or have the SPOTLIGHT". I'm not sure those two reasons for classless wrestling have anything to do with doing what is best for kids.
I will say though that I don't agree with them that a lot/many/most (whatever word you want to insert) go from small school to larger schools for pure wrestling reasons - hope I'm not interpreting incorrectly. However, I will say that larger schools typically pay more, which would account for some of the movement.
Just acknowledge large schools have a competitive advantage over small schools. Even if you don't agree with class wrestling, at least acknowledging this FACT (not opinion) would give you credibility to this debate. To deny this fact is absurd.
And lastly, I'd be happy to meet Karl and Y2 face to face, I can take you both.
