Re: Concussion Protocol - role of Tournament Director

The trainer put him on concussion protocol not the coach. He used 3.47 of the 5 minutes protocol. If their is a MD in gym he can be asked. The trainer was smart enough to know he has way more experience then her. So is the question. 1. Is it legal? Absolutely 2. Are you questioning the coach/doctors...

Re: Wrestling Coach Needed.

I agree with all you said. I am sure if you reach out to Dough through email he could get you that information. I don't think salaries should be discussed on this board. Just my humble opinion. I do think since they combined the middle schools and put them on same campus as High School this program ...

First let me say I did not see it. However I feel it is important to know that a suplex is illegal by application. Which means does not matter how he landed. If the the initial was straight up then it is illegal. They did that to prevent injuries. Understand a lot of time people twist to side at la...

Re: Call the Call

This is a good sensible discussion. Several accurate comments and opinions. Stalling is the most difficult call in wrestling to make. Think of it in this way. You are watching a basketball game.

Re: Call the Call

I will only say this... STALLING is a judgment call! The key in my opinion is the official consistent in his calls. That is all you can asked for. Both coaches and wrestlers know what officials call stalling more aggressive then others. As long as official is consistent in them, then you know what y...
