    Give everyone in the room some water and let's wrestle.

    I agree, and I appreciate your kind words, but I am instantly worried about you at the same time.

    Finally, something about this makes sense...

    Please, use the medical terms that apply, "Fractured Endurance" and "Sprained Confidence." Take 90 seconds and some water and you will feel better immediately.

    There is a photo index in the back (coach's index)... and yet we still can't get a takedown call right in some situations.

    I think this guy knows something about wrestling. We should listen to him.

    Don't drag the officials into this. For 1.5 days they get app. 100 bucks, a cold meat sandwich on Saturday, lots of applause from the fans, mileage (which you will waste driving to an affordable hotel OR if you go for a hotel downtown b/c the IHSAA doesn't reimburse officials for their rooms). The IHSAA isn't losing a dime on officials, ever.

    Let's get back to reality... What does this have to do with putting points on the board? How much longer before you ask a referee varify that the parents of each athlete shake hands after the bout? Coach, say something nice about the losing wrestler. ??? Coaches, coach the kids responsibly and let the officials call the bout.

    The thread is titled, Letter of the Law vs. Spirit of the Rule. I am saying the spirit of the rule is not intended to eliminate thirsty athletes who are 10+ lbs below weight. I raise my children very conservatively and I do follow my own rules. That part I agree with you. Do I teach my children to only cross the mall parking lot at the crosswalk, no. I have also been known to park at wrestling tournaments in places that technically are not parking spaces...

    I am sure all of you stay in your seat and behind the tape line when you are coaching. You probably never coach your kid during injury timeouts. I bet not one of you have ever called a ref to the table and not gotten a coach's misconduct call. You always stop a kid from walking across an unused mat with his straps down. :

    Exactly... Ask yourself, what does this have to do with putting points on the board? Here is an idea, officials score the matches, coaches teach ethics. If you feel that strongly about it give everybody in the room a sip at the scale and everyone is happy and hydrated.

    Sounds like the rules for a game we call, "Gotcha!" Let the referees conduct the weigh-ins.
  13. awood2
    Referee stops a chicken wing as a potentially dangerous hold as the kid is going over. Coach stands up and yells, "That's not potentially dangerous!" To the coach's surprise the ref turns and asks, "What would you call it?" Coach, "Potentially AWESOME!" ;D

    Two rival schools wrestling. One school with an unusually low graduation rate was clearly winning the meet started the chant, "Maybe next year..." The other, more academically gifted school, who was losing chanted back across the gym, "We'll be in college..." At a football game between two similar schools in the Ft. Wayne area the school with lesser academics scored a touchdown to make the game a blowout. The losing student section started chanting, "We passed ISTEP..." I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants.

    Anybody remember, "RIP HIS HEAD, PATRICK!" Sorry, a bit of an insider for Indianamat fans...
  17. awood2
    I have sent this to everyone I know.
  18. awood2
    The last line says it all. Thank you, Kayla. Thank you, Sara for being there for the parade of champions. I can't wait to see you both.
  19. awood2
    Noooooooooo!
  20. awood2
    Singlets! Singlets, man! I was at that weigh-in working that scale :'( I had almost forgotten that day... Have mercy!
  21. awood2
    This was actually in the school's program at a football game: The Hispanic causing panic! I loved so hard I cried.

    Finally, some common sense... Cosgrove, I wasn't there, but you opinions certainly have credibility.
  23. awood2
    ahhh, Shapiro's... good place I can't believe no one mentioned The Slippery Noodle. I don't even know if they serve food, but what a tradition! Great jazz. Ran into Tsirtsis there last year and the wife says to him, "Are you really wrestling royalty (someone there told her that)?" He looks right back at her and says, "NO, but there are only 6 others like me on the planet ;D"

    We normally have a reservation. First time there I greased the hostess' palm and got a table in a room with Rulon Gardener.
