Depends on what you call stalling the last 30 seconds. If the wrestler hasn't had any stalling calls, he has the right to hold a good position, have good head-hand defense, and only attack if there is a clear opening. Basically don't force anything and cost yourself the match. As much as we want our wrestlers to bang and attack the whole match, this is also a strategy for the sport. Should a basketball team that is winning drive down the court and take the shot when it isn't necessary and they can let the time run off? Should a football team make a long throw just to try and score one last time even though they are winning?
 
Yes, if the wrestler is blatantly backing up or running, call it and call it quick that is a gimme. But holding a position and not doing anything dumb is something different. Remember, he is the wrestler who earned the right to control the tempo and the match especially if he hasn't given up a stalling call yet. So many coaches and fans want to act like they got ripped off when this happens. Tell your wrestler not to give up the first 4 points, and this won't happen.

Must have been typing this at same time as you, Andy. +1 to what he said. 

I'm with Coach Diep on this one. Stalling needs more clearly defined criteria.
 
However, I'm opposed to eliminating the warning. The other athlete had the same 5 minutes and 30 seconds to score that the winning athlete had. This is why scoring early is important in our sport. I don't advocate for kids stalling with 30 seconds left, but As the leading wrestler, you have "earned" the right to play a little defense when you build a lead. Can't complain as the losing wrestler that he was "just stalling" because how the heck did he score the points in the first place? It sure wasn't by stalling.
 
I like the one warning and then a point. Why does the other kid get a point just for taking crazy shots at the end of a match that have 0 chance of landing?  Score early, score often, don't let it come down to the last 30 seconds.
 
We'd all love to see athletes do nothing but shoot and score and hit fun scrambles for 6 straight minutes but all the kids care about is the score at the end. They took risks earlier to score points, they have now got the right to take fewer risks late. 
 
I just hate when a kid has taken all of the risks all match and they don't hit the other kid for stalling for the first 5 and a half minutes, then want to throw up a stall call with 10 seconds left on the kid that had done all the work the whole match. It's like stalling doesn't exist until you're winning. Just let them wrestle. 
 
Just one coach's humble opinion.

Thanks!

What’s your point? We signed up for the event to wrestle some of the best teams. That’s what we did. We lost some matches we could have won and we won some matches that we probably weren’t expected to win. It’s wrestling. We have plenty to work on and like everyone else a lineup to get dialed in.
