Re: Video replay

A_angelli, Thank you for your support. However I am not convinced the hierarchy in officiating is for the review because the ones I have spoken to at the state tournament seem to be extremely hesitant and always use the excuse that our state rules interpreter does. The NFHS doesn’t allow it. That is...

I agree and if you just move on nothing will ever be resolved. I believe in giving it a shot at trying to improve the future. By just being quiet and saying nothing indicates you don’t care.

Re: Rules and situations

Aacoach126, not sure what your point is. I know the rule book quite well especially after 50 years of officiating. The point is who and how do you determine whether it’s flagrant. The rule is vague and why wait to the state finals to inconsistently determine its flagrant. I know that under the same ...

Thanks for pointing that out. The rule says continuing acts. Am I missing something here. You agree that he should be punished for something another teammate did?

Flo and Trackwrestling videos matches that could be reviewed. As an official myself I would much rather hav...

Rules and situations

Just asking for opinions here. If a coach physically contacts an official it is according to the rule book will be ejected. What about when the referee does the same to a coach. Is there a penalty? Should there be ? How about when an official makes such poor judgment a wrestler who says the f word b...

Re: AAA 182

Good point mscoach4. Those are the kind of things that should be more clear! Maybe if the officials were more consistent it might be more uniform in their calls. Veteran officials not knowing the rules or how to interpret them is a problem.

I don’t want to get on too big of a tirade but regarding the rule it seems as though for a lot of it interpretations are under the pick and choose variety, especially a lot of the judgement calls. In the same tournament you may have ( often) the same wrestler commit the same infraction and one is ac...

JW, you may want to review the rule yourself when applying rules. Under Rule 10-1 Authorization Article .2 Video recording is authorized unless prohibited by the state high school association. So according to the NFHS rule we can be allowed to video if the state association allows it. I completely u...

Re: Video replay

Did someone keep the video replay a secret ? Who decided that it was to used only in timekeeping and scoring? Not sure what video replay you were speaking about but the coaches were not told that. Where were the cameras ?

Re: WVU vs Wyoming

WVU was pathetic when looking for coaches. I know Cary Kolat who built Campbell into a better team than WVU wanted the job. He grew up just over the Pa/WV state line. Never even got an interview either time. John Hughes, Lehigh coach no interview! Do you know how hard it is to recruit kids for that ...

Re: WSAZ or State?

I believe the WSAZ is harder but that could vary depending from year to year and weight class to weight class.

In recent years WV has had placers but not recruited. With respect to our program at Parkersburg South before Covid we had a lot of the ...
