take em to the mat

89 kids is this typical numbers???

Oh that’s dissapointing. Where is that meet held?

Would be a great fund raiser to have these 2 squads scrimmage.

Any progress?

Do any of you guys do summer duals? As in team duals?

Does khsaa have a deadline set for picking a site?

Great point(s). Yes these guys need a stint as a ref. It was great experience for me

Thank you for your opinion. Good opening statement. Now explain it!! This is what forums are for. We need everyones opinion. Maybe some good will come from everyones input.

You are on the right track here. I like everything youve said here.

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.

That's problematic in itself. Any of the khsaa officials ever wrestle? If not they are clueless.

Who has imput on the location? Does KHSAA partner with the coaches association on these major decisions?

What is the most Central location in the state? That has a 10,000 seat capacity?

What's your solution? Keep in mind a large percentage of coaches don't understand the rules as well. Please read the begining of this thread.

When I started this thread it was not to bash and complain. Everyone here that has wrestled or coached has felt wrong more than once. This thread is to maybe start a conversation that will lead to better understanding of the rules. Coaches and referees alike. I won’t pretend to know all. But, i’m Willing to learn everyday. I’ve been at this for 35 years. I learn every chance I get. What’s the solutions out there?

Might as well make it in the sand ha

I can't help but think, Shouldn't this have been settled before now??????? A new location should have been secured long before this season was over.

I agree.

Yes. If there are that few I agree. Maybe we need to increase pay. Educate all coaches and refs reguarding the rules.

If they choose to be difficult. Do we really need them? Big hell no!!

I vote Louisville area or bowling green.

You get one scratch. If a ref has multiple scratches. Then you don’t want him anyway.

Is someone coaching a Kentucky team?

It looks like Alabama, New Jersey, Minnesota and Texas are using it for football,basketball and hockey. No mention of wrestling. And all are trials only. I believe the use of instant replay in wrestling would cause more problems than solve. I’m sure some coaches would abuse it. Kids tired! “I think he was in bounds on the takedown” let’s review. As 1 example.

You guys are bringing up valid issues. So back to the original topic. What measures would everyone like to see in place? What will inhance the wrestling experience?
