I was watching that match and there was no lose of control. When they gave the escape point i was just as baffled as you. In my opinion it was a bad call, again there is just no consistency in the calls that are made between refs.

I will say this just based purely on what I have seen in the past.
 
I have seen a wrestler on bottom get the top wrestlers legs, face him, and lift the top wrestler completely into the air for about 2 seconds and the buzzer sounded as the top wrestler was being returned to the mat. No escape was awarded. The referee said since there was no separation, then there was no escape, and the outside referee agreed. It was one of the more ridiculous calls I have ever seen, but it was made none the less.
 
If the scenario I just described was not an escape, then there is no way the situation I watched in your wrestlers video was an escape...
 
Hope this helps...

We know that, we have been wrestling and coaching long enough to know when the hand is raised it is over. We are honestly looking for a true ruling. If it is a escape we will argue this for my wrestlers in the future. If it is not then we want to correctly argue this ruling in the future if it happens again. Maybe it will help someone else also.

This is the position we ended up in for about the last 20 seconds.  At no time did his head pop out.  There was one moment where Drake did not have the far leg but there was never any separation, his head was still tucked, and he was not behind.  The match ended in almost this exact position.  We know you have to take it out of the refs hands but it is pretty hard to tell that to the kids relatives when you don't have an explanation for it. We accept the loss no matter what but in all honesty I want to know if we are wrong for thinking this was not the right call.

Doesn't look like an escape to me... I could see an escape if they were on their feet and Rhodes maybe not having the leg hooked with his arm, but I am certainly not a referee...

#10, #9 and #8

Agreed.  But I would go even further and say least productive week. 

11.  "Haircut worked for Rick Springfield in 1982, it works for me now."
10.  Argues over what "Da Region's" boundaries are and are not.
9.  Criticizes Donald Trump for "having too small of an ego."
8.  Utters "Da Region" every third sentence.
7.  Orange-colored tan.
6.  If the family has three wrestling brothers or more separated by at least three years, each went to a different high school.
5.  Speaks Rat Pidgin English fluently.
4.  Slings gratuitous slurs toward Ft. Wayne semistate wrestlers.
3.  Their "Lavoris" smells oddly of garlic and horseradish.
2.  Can't count to 21 without removing pants.
 
And the number one way to identify a Region wrestling fan:  "It ain't a real Team State title unless a Region team won it, DUH!"
 
...I await your snappy comebacks.
 
XOX,

I thought about this some more and it makes total sense. Coaches already make a ton of money for coaching and they are probably teachers which means they are in the high roller category so they really should pay for their first day also.

What TripleB said.  Agreed. 

Haha hey I read the email, and asked my AD about it so he contacted the ihsaa to find out. He originally called it WW3. Haha. But later tonight they resent one back to him fixing their statement.
 
I just wanted to make sure everyone else saw that and was not surprised when they got their Saturday

So basically they are trying to maintain the floor area? I respect that then
