    I always felt Memorial Coliseum would be ideal. Centrally located, plenty of hotels around LEXINGTON, seems to be the right size, and seating is set up way better than Alltech. Alltech is an absolute dump and it’s embarrassing to the state that we have our state tournament on essentially a dirt floor. 

    It would, the downside would be parking, as Classes would be in session for Friday, as well as easier access to the floor by parents, just have to police that.

    That was a bit harsh. let's go with won't completely understand. By that I mean if you've pour everything you have into something. And an individual thats put in charge of whatever it is hasn't  never been through any of it. They won't understand how being treated as "well that's good enough" is frustrating. 

    You couldnt be more wrong than you are right now, specifically as it refers to the topic at hand.

    Are we locked into the ridiculous, move to March or can that be proposed in the spring and changed back to the regular date with a vote in the fall?

    Im not against the shift of seasons so much as the fact that no venue contract was in place or at least pending when making the shift an option.    


  4. A coaches scratch list wont work in KY currently, there are not enough officials to start with.  You allow coaches to scratch, you want have any for the state tournament. 

     

    Having asst refs at Quarterfinals is a good start but why start there, halfway through the tournament, if you going to do that, do it from match 1 of the state tournament.  However I guess the downside of that is if coaches are not happy with the refs at the tournament now, adding more that they wont be happy with doesnt do much. 

     

    Video replay is never a good idea at the High School or below level.

    I do not believe that we can, on one hand, lament the lack of coach's input on track and other lack of providing information during the season, and then, on the other hand, argue that state brackets should be seeded.  If there is a dearth of information being provided, then seeding isn't going to be accurate.  Until we, collectively, are better at providing information to paint an accurate picture, we will always have KHSAA random draws.  Just my .02 on a rainy post-region Monday.

    If you have seeding, then you will have the records entered.  As it is now, no penalty is enforced if you dont enter them.  That is on the KHSAA and the Coaches Association.

    My understanding is that outside of the 5 regional champs, all of the other spots are filled via random draw.  The true answer to this question seems to me to even out the regions and then go to 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 and then have a set rotation of regions for each seed spot for each bracket but also breaking up each region's 1s and 2s to opposite sides of each bracket.  It seems pretty simple, but I think we'd have to move back to 4 regions or move up to 8 regions.

    It is that simple with 16 wrestler brackets, but you now have 20 wrestler brackets so that logic is now out of sync.

    The 3’s Wrestling 4’s are the rat tail rounds. Once again that’s going to happen with the way the brackets are formed. 2’s vs2’s have to happen as well. Take in mind that the (1)’s have earned the easier draw and their first match unless it’s a bye should be against the lower seeds (a 3 or a 4). The 2’s battle it out for a chance at a 1 seed in the quarter final round.

    I get the rat tails, but region opponents still should not meet in the rat tail regardless.  It should only happen if it is an alternate fill in from your same region for a spot from a different region.

    I don’t know that I am always above that; I quite often speak up when I get frustrated. The reasons I speak up publicly are:

    1) this state isn’t making much progress and as you mentioned there are few who are putting in the effort to move it forward

    2) we spend hours and hours talking about what we should do and little to nothing actually happens

    3) Essentially all wrestling outside the Official KHSAA season is under the guidance of KY USA wrestling; so the distribution of funds to these teams is a board issue and should be in line with our goals

    4) why am I spending my time working on the board providing my energy and input to essentially have those efforts crapped on. 

    5) i sure hope the cadet team has close to a full lineup for their dual team

     

    I feel your pain.

    This is all coming to a head and a decision will have to made by those that are in the upper level (KHSAA) Hopefully sooner rather than later. 

    Nky teams have a second option for their youth.  They can join the Cincinnati Youth League and be covered under them, when they participate in CYL events. 

     

    Curious as to why you think the KHSAA will get involved, and why you think they should?
