Just a Coach

I generally do not make it a habit to agree with Doc. However, this was basic common sense. But Doc look at who conducted the survey, a group of Political appointees who know absolutely nothing about most sports outside of the big 3. (Football, Basketball and Baseball.) If they would just ask The KYWCA or the KWOA things would run so much smoother. Better yet actually have someone with true wrestling knowledge on the Board of control. Just an old fat mans opinion.

The next question is. If KHSAA truly cared about our sport, they would either reimburse officials for the license and /or supply officials, especially the new officials with everything needed / required to perform their duties. I just looked into it, the license is $60, to get the exact clothing required black and white striped shirt, grey and black striped shirt and KHSAA jacket is about $130 depending on the officially licensed supplier you by from. Tha does not include shoes if you do not have them proper shoe, Pants if you do not have a comfortable pair of black pants, Whistle, anklets, arm bands, red / green coin. Now that may not be a large sum of money to some, however if we are tyrying to get newer younger officials for them it may too much and we know that our officials don't get paid near what they should. So KHSAA expects new officials to pony up $200+ and because they are new and unproven they will get the the smaller lower paying assignments ( which is completely understandable). So they will be in the hole financially until they complete at least their firast 3 or 4 assignments. Then they bhave to deal with Attitudal, Complaining and in some cases down right A&&H*&E coaches ( which at some point all of us who have coached fell into 1 or all of those categories). So I say again if the KHSAA truly cared about our kids they would make it worth the officials time and effort. This is not just a Wrestling issue, we need good officials in all sports. Just one Old Man's Opinion.

Fair enough, I was just curious. That makes sense to me.

Ranger, Looking at the 215# brackets I noticed you have 4 wrestlers ranked that aren't even going to the semi state rounds? Are you counting them in as participants because they may get in Via an Alternate spot? Just curious. 21. Dylan Smith - Knox Central - Region 7 25. Travis Moten - Fern Creek - Region 4 26. Gemel Smith - Central - Region 3 27. Joshua Decius - Doss - Region 3

Coach Welcome

New medals were ordered noone knows why. the previus medals were fine. The plans for this yaers tournament are set and will be all the the wrestlers. Ranger you are invited to come relax and enjoy. Our announcer will have fun time this yaer, Gameface knows him personally.

These are all discussind that should be had between the coaches at the coaches meetings not in a forum setting like this. It undermines what the real reason we are all here for and that is the wrestlers themselves.
