I'm wondering if anyone ever compliments these refs for the job they do? Have you ever noticed at the end of a dual meet when the teams and coaches form lines to shake each others hands in a display of good sportmanship? I have, but I don't remember many times seeing anyone shake hands with the ref. We can't have wrestling without someone being out there officiating our great sport. Maybe we should all make more of an effort to say something nice to the officials when they deserve it. I don't agree with every call they make but, I do agree with most of their calls. Remember they are closer to the action then everyone else except for the wrestlers. The way I figure it, is if the ref is down on the mat looking to see if a persons sholders or scapulas are touching the mat for 2 seconds he has a much better view then I do from up in the stands. Also, how do they aviod being kicked when they are down there so close?
