    Does anyone have a potential price for the new uniform option?

    North Montgomery has Business and Math opening. Hiring wrestling coaches is high on our administrators list.

    We are down to one maybe two kids wrestling at freestyle state and one kid wrestling at Greco state. Last year we had 11 at freestyle state. The year before that we sent 12. Two tournament rule wiped out pretty much our entire group of guys that wanted to wrestle (14).. It is what it is.. Just going to focus on Summer Folkstyle team camp we have coming up.. Hopefully this ridiculous qualification rule is gone next year..

    What frustrates me is that people are defending a rule that we all know has been ineffective and making Freestyle/Greco participation worse.. Again I am not bad mouthing the ISWA or anyone who was on the panel who created the rule. They tried an idea and it didn't work as planned. But when people defend the rule that makes those in power feel that the rule is maybe being effective. It's not.. Here's an idea, get rid of the rule and start thinking of another solution. Stop beating the dead horse..

    It's not hard, just get rid of rule. No reason to argue about it. The rule is not doing what it was designed to do. All it's doing is making the State Tournament worse than it already was. Last year it was a ghost town at Freestyle state. I am not bad mouthing the ISWA as I understand the intentions were good but the reality is the qualification system did not work and is simply causing more problems than the positives that it brings.

    It is unfortunate as I really enjoy freestyle state. Over the years we made Freestyle State a big deal and we normally sent 10-15 kids to compete. This also helped keep kids in the room in the off season since they were training for something. This year, many of our kids could not get the 2 qualifying tournaments because the combination of Spring break, SAT, Scholastic Duals, other National tournaments. This year we may send 1-2 kids to Freestyle State. Disappointing.. Change the rule. It is doing more hurt than good.

    Probably should specify if we are talking about the individual tournament or team tournament, or both.

    Give coaches that have kids still wrestling on day 2 the different color wrist band to get onto the floor/able to get into the matside area but still allow coaches with day 1 wrist band into Bankers Life through the side entrance but not onto the floor/matside area.. How hard is that?

    Exactly what I was trying to say. We have IHSWCA Team State. Lets focus on that and calling those teams the state champions. If the IHSAA does not want to entertain the idea of creating a team state then so be it. IHSWCA Team State is the Team Super Bowl for our team and we are ok with that.
  12. swain358
    So the team (my best 14 vs your best 14) that wins the head to head dual meet is not the better team. But the team that scores the most points in an individual tournament that may only showcase each teams best 5-8 wrestler is? And in your opinion this is strictly because the dual meet tournament is not at the very end of the season and it's not ran by the IHSAA.. Got it..
  13. swain358
    Yeah the whole idea of using an individual tournament to prove who is the best team just doesn't work all of the time. Some teams bring less to state because they come from a tougher regional/semi state etc. then like mentioned above, you have to root for kids from other schools to beat kids from the team you are trying to out score. That whole set up just is not (in my opinion) the way to crown a team state champion. One year I was coaching at Anderson Highland, we sent 3 to state and each placed high. We finished 4th, or somewhere close to that, in "team scoring". We were a solid team but not sure we were 4th best in state.
  14. swain358
    We still have people in our wrestling community that considers the top scoring team at Bankers Life as the Team State Champions. The division isn't helping.
  15. swain358
    When we stop treating the IHSAA Individual State Point leader like the Team State Champion then I think we will start making some progress. This may sound crazy, but I wonder what the IHSAA would do if the team that scores the most points at Bankers Life decided not to accept the IHSAA Team Champion trophy.
  16. swain358
    Are we talking about competing for a spot on the individual state podium or competing as a team?
  17. swain358
    Hospitality room may be one of the top in the State.. Our parents do an amazing job!
  18. swain358
    If both kids indeed make it to the finals I think changing the order would be a great idea.. IHSAA needs to make this happen.
