Ahh the inevitable personal attack. How predictable of you. Here is one heck of a suggestion. 1. Recognize the elephant in the room: The two meet qualifier was a knee jerk decision to try financially support the local clubs. Improving in the international styles had nothing to do with the decision as evidenced by Waivergate. Like most knee jerk decisions, there are unintended consequences. (Waivergate, Midweek Mayhem, Studapalooza). The ISWA must admit to this poor decision before moving on. Maybe I have an agenda, maybe I am just a troll, or maybe, just maybe, I actually work with kids in the room at the grass roots and know how these decisions have crippled freestyle.

If you think your suggestions are better, you would fight for them too. You also disparaged these gentleman by claiming they have some kind of "agenda" behind their suggestions. This is a passive aggressive way of dismissing their suggestions. You are correct that the ISWA should be open to EVERYONE'S opinion. It is not incumbent on Joe Nick or Dan to be open to EVERYONE'S opinion, they don't hold the decision making power. The ISWA can choose to be open to suggestions or they passively aggressively dismiss them as you have. Unfortunately, I feel that business as usual will be the order of the day and all the good and honorable volunteers will continue to pat themselves on the back while blaming all the carpers and complainers.

That is not what you said earlier. You claimed that Y2 did not have suggestions and now your are saying you don't like how they are making suggestions. Furthermore, by claiming that people like Joe Caprino, Dan Hatch and Nick Wiesjahn only have their kids or their agenda in mind when making suggestions is a slap in the face to these fellas. Regardless of how honorable the ISWA people are, there is still a problem. The problem is because of decisions made by the ISWA people. Again, the mess we are in is the ISWA's doing. Deflecting attention to those that offer suggestions to better the product will not fix the problem.

Bogus. Y2, Nick, warsawguy, and others have all mentioned numerous suggestions. I know you have a vested interest in the ISWA but please keep the spotlight on the ISWA and try not to deflect to others. It is the ISWA and the decisions they have made which have gotten the international styles in dire straights they are currently in. Nick picking about a kid who spends more money to get competition or blaming the complainers is not going to fix anything.

Damn. Thought it was free

According to Coach Hull, your sons not getting a waiver is the fault of the people who bitched and moaned about last years last second waiver process. It's painfully obvious that the 2 meet rule was the ISWA's attempt to force wrestlers to local club meets, to financially help the local clubs. Perhaps the local club weekend meet is not the appropriate business model anymore.

More passive aggressive jibberish that is not almost insulting, it IS insulting.
-
The ISWA screwed up last year by allowing indiscriminate waivers at the last minute after many families had made sacrifices trying to to play by the rules. The ISWA screwed up this year by being petulant and not offering any waivers. Passive aggressiveness and blame shifting is not much more productive than bitching.
-
1. Please get rid of the two tournament rule or give exemptions to members of our national teams. 2. Please communicate with the rank and file ISWA members before making decisions that impact their spring wrestling plans.

IHSWCA Team State Duals - Initial Invitations Sent Out
bigdanteague replied to Coach McCormick's topic in Past Discussions
This event is for the best of the best, not the best of the Bartholomew Co. I suggest more local super duals. -
Does this include a free registration to the Jeff County Beach Nationals as well?

You forgot to mention the squirt guns and poor supervision.

The more I competed and the better I became, the more I began to see that despite my contributions to the sport, there were some people who would never know who I was, and those who did may choose not to like you anyway. -Jordan Burroughs

Your 3rd attempt to deflect is no better than your first.

I admitting to hating on those that throw coaches under the bus and give kids mixed messages. Let's be clear, I am not bashing the SAC, I am bashing those that throw coaches under the bus and give kids mixed messages. Stop deflecting....you are not very good at it.
