Its all people just "overreacting" or "getting their feelings hurt" until it happens to you or people you know. Sexual Assault is not a thing you just brush under the rug. You investigate it and handle it after the investigation is over. Trying to tie it to a political party is asinine. Joe is will Jordan face legal ramifications probably not. He can try to file a defamation suit but if any truth is found to be thats a moot point. But dudes is not above the investigation. I go back to my previous example of a prostitute filing a rape charge. Would you discount that? I would hope any decent human being wouldn't and and investigation with due process would be had. 

Once again you fail to see the point, you don't know how someone would react to that situation. Serial perpetrators such as what this guy is accused of pick their victims very precisely. They go after weak(mentally and physically) individuals and prey upon them. Wrestlers don't often fit that mold, but there are some that do. 
The reason Disabato and company are going after Jordan is he's a lightning rod. Saying that the other assistants or even Hellickson knew and didn't report anything wouldn't create the media fervor that going after Jordan would. It would take a lot of real evidence for anything legal to happen to Jordan. The biggest damage will be perceived character issues

Well if Trump believes him then case closed, Trump is a beaming beacon of morality.

We are in a huge movement of Allegations of sexual misconduct coming in to the forefront...gotta let the investigation go through. Hope its nothing to damning but its nothing to be taken lightly. 

I see the issue of the "accusers" but i refuse to fall down that rabbit hole. you cant say a prostitute accusing someone of rape has no case it just needs to be investigated.

Just out of curiosity, if you were looking for a male coach, would you mention "Preferably someone who is still in good enough shape to wrestle with the kids"?

We had a single Greco camp at crown point from the Illinois assistant greco coach and..... I can put money on it that I learned MUCH MORE about  positioning and how to execute moves than a takedown camp from around here. 
 

Teaches confidence. I'd take that athlete working and doing stuff over the traditional wrestler any day.. personally I love growing and building those athletes and not the traditional wrestler throws, counter attacks, shots from ALL areas and pins from everywhere. I LOVE throws from when guys shoot high crotches or single legs. 

PERFECT!! Got to love the sport and the people we surround ourselves with.

So you’ve never done it...yet you speak on how it helps/doesn’t help. Makes sense. 

So I’m one of the #PainTrain families lucky enough to host two of the Team USA kids. Side note, what an awesome group of young men on both sides.  Was a blessing to spend time with great young people.
But my kid I’m hosting just said (In between games of Fortnight) “Man!  I knew about Mason and Brayton of course...but your Indiana dudes brought it and that was really impressive.  And what an awesome atmosphere and such a fun dual...I’m so happy I came to this!”
Our State did just fine tonight.

People said that 10 years ago about Flo.
 
They each offer their own unique niche to the wrestling world.
Flo is like the WWE Network, Fight Pass, etc. My personal frustration is FloArena (Sir Charles says it' turrrrrrrible) and the fact that it's harder to find college matches now b/c Flo locks it behind the paywall. 
 
There is zero comparison between Track and Flo in terms of tournament software, Track is the king and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

Go check track and check out his stats this weekend as well as everybody else. Keep talking trash through a screen, real big.

Wow, Rumph got hosed.  He was the superior wrestler today. Definitely questionable on the back bow, seen far worse than that not get a call, and the referee wasn't on the right side to see if it was over the hip or toward the head anyway. Regardless, very few coaches would allow their guy to take a win that way.  

Again, look at the rule. If the ‘back bow’ does not go toward the head it is not illegal. The head official of the tournament agreed that it was not illegal.
The kid was fine. Walked to the center. Turned and looked at his coach, then all of a sudden grabbed his back. Reminder, this is a match he was losing 5-1 with a minute to go in the semis of what could be described as the toughest tournament in the country.
If he wrestles in the finals, it proves that his back was good enough to wrestle.

Watch the match. Period. 
Have you ever had a back injury? 
You definitely wouldn’t be adjusting your knee pad if you had a back injury bad enough to no longer continue.

So based on all information that I have at my disposal. Rumph did not take the ankle to the head. He took it over Bryant’s hip. That is the rule book below.
Now here is the issue. As a coach and obviously a prior wrestler it is an unwritten rule not to take a DQ win if you are losing that bad and you know the kid did not try to hurt you. But the worse part here is it is quite obvious that Bryant was coming back to wrestle. He jumped off the mat, walked to the middle of the mat just fine and adjusted his knee pad. He then looks to his coach in the corner, his coach says something and then Bryant starts holding his back. That is beyond unethical for a coach to allow an athlete to take that win. This was the National Semi-Finals. Not just some random wrestling match. 
I can tell you that if Behling is a team leader for Indiana-Illinois duals, Portage will not have a representative. We will not have a kid wrestling under someone who would do something like that.
 

I can list several reason why this site is terrible, if I list multiple reason that just goes to show why it should be SHUT DOWN!!!!!
 
1. They keep the wrestling community informed about rule changes and open dates, etc....
2. They provide rankings that are often referenced by the local newspaper, i.e. Indystar and the commentators that broadcast various tournaments including the IHSAA STATE FINALS!!!
3. College coaches frequently visit the board to view wrestlers profiles. 
4. It keeps you up to date concerning youth tournaments results and mentions The Who's Who of Indiana wrestling.
5. It lists coaches accomplishments and records team records, individual records, etc......
6. The moderator's are to busy coaching their own teams really to put a lot of work into this site.
7. They are REALLY COOL DUDES THAT HAVE SHOWN DEDICATION TO THE SPORT TO KEEP THE COACHES, FANS, AND OFFICIALS ABREAST TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WRESTLING COMMUNITY IN INDIANA!!! 
DISCLAMIER, I AM JUST A RETIRED COACH THAT COACH'S HIS SON AT HIS CLUB, BEECH GROVE, AND WHAT TO SEE THE SPORT GROW AND ANY EXPOSURE IS GOOD EXPOSURE IMO!!! 
 
 

Just the 2016 National Wrestling Website of the Year

All you have to do is go on Illinoismatman once and you will never complain about this site again. 

@UncleJimmy.........  I am at work now and everyone is looking at me in my cubicle because I am laughing out of control........... these are some of the funniest posts I have ever read. 
First off @dogsEAT you have issues, some are funny and have given me quite the chuckle and some need serious therapeutic help I think.  Who are you I have to know please identify yourself.
Second, Uncle Jimmy that was pure gold buddy, pure gold for sure.  I also like your reference to the "dislike" button which I truly believe needs to be added at next update for sure.  To answer your question however it could not be my son because per his mothers recent review of his search history on his phone he does not visit IN Mat unless its now listed as big boobs, big butts, stuff inside of other stuff (censored) and most recent how to shave below the belt.
Great stuff message board people, thanks

Ummmmm I think he wants to know how one of Indiana's best wrestlers is doing at the next level? Didn't realize a point was trying to be made here..... 

for a jacket I am interested in wrestling...............what is the weight class I will need to make and how long do I have to get on weight ?  My hydration test likely will show lots of room for movement
