    I was a ref for 5 years in Pennsylvania and it's not easy to catch every call. Unfortunately there's no instant replay and they can't watch your video and I'm not even sure it should come to that at the high school level. I've been on both sides of the line ref/coach and while I've seen some poor reffing the coaches don't always have the best interpretation of the rules and definitely don't have the best angle of view from the coaches chair either so calm is all we can hope for and hopefully everyone learns from their mistakes. The poor reffing I see the most is generally from being out of position  (missing locked hands and not seeing pins quick enough) and poor use of signals (using signals that don't exist I see a lot!! or not making them clear for the table workers trying to keep score) and not being vocal enough and taking eyes off of the wrestlers and looking at the table while making calls <-gotta trust your signal and trust the table sees it and keep your eyes on the action... all and all I've seen some good reffing here and there but there's a lot of young guys (that's a good thing) and hopefully we're doing some sort of training and meeting to work with them and they stick with it and get better with experience. 

    All that being said...I believe I'm going to dive into the pit next season, put the stripes back on and take the heat!! So be ready to yell at me all you want, I feel nothing and tell your kids not to even roll across their backs because I love to slap the mat!!!

    Douche.

    I experienced a ref. Make a terrible call that cost a young lady a match and an opportunity to place. I already had a warning and was on a short leash. He would not look at video evidence to correct his poor call. I know they are not perfect but they should be open to being challenged on a questionable call.

    I didn't start this post to breakdown the flaws of one coach and board member. I am sure he is a fine guy. As far as moving kids around in a line up for duals. This is very common. It's called strategy.  The End. Put this shit to bed. See you at STATE....
