I'm glad Cody came back at him by beating him instead of retaliating with a swing.And speaking of random occurences, what was up with the Whiting-Bullock match? I was watching some other bouts and just knew there was some big controversy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MatMama 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 did any one see Cody Mann get punched in the face? wow I just remembered another random thing. Joe Cattan arguing with another ref, who's name I don't know, about awarding Travis Sullivan an escape point. That was crazy. I mean, he started down, and he got out of it. How hard is that to figure out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MatMama 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 I do think there were fewer instances of poor behavior this year than years past. I know of one wrestler whose coach took him out of the tournament because he acted up in a match -- refused to walk back to the center and shake his opponent's hand after losing. Only reason I know about it is because his next opponent was from my team, and the coach told the official he was forfeiting because he had withdrawn the wrestler from the tournament. Maybe other things like that happened, and I just didn't hear about it. I'm also not aware of anyone who didn't make weight the second and third days. Again, maybe I didn't know about it.

ulgrad150 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 mat mama, you obviously have a personal problem and what are you smoking. You should address matches he actually officiates with the whistle rather than the assistant ones if you can. I watched the entire state tournament, did you. The refs did a great job considering the task they take on. Three days of hard work with a double in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I watched the entire tournament. I do think the refs have a tough job, but that doesn't mean we're supposed to give them a pass if they do it poorly. I think highly of Jimmy Shaw and Dave Barnett. Some of the other officials I think are OK. But I happen to think Cattan and Ford make some bad calls and are very inconsistent.

I didn't see any bad calls on his part. He was very consistent and didn't cost anyone matches. Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know the others and how many times each has been at state. I have seen them all at tournaments all year and they are the best. They are called back for a reason. Lots of people want jobs but can not do them. Maybe, they can add your name to the job list next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoachK 2 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 It's also because they are the ones who are able to afford to take off work for 2-3 days or can even get off work.

Lots of people want jobs but can not do them. Maybe, they can add your name to the job list next year. I'm not sure why you're fixated on my opinion, since many others have complained about the refs on this board. Last year after State, as a matter of fact, someone, not me, started a thread that went on for weeks about the bad calls. Numerous people weighed in with examples. Anyway as I said before, I have a right to my opinion, and you have a right to yours, too. I never said I could officiate. That doesn't mean I can't recognize a good job or a poor one. I can't paint, but I know a good painting when I see one. I can't sew a dress, but I can tell when one is well-made. I could go on, but what would be the point? You've just decided to berate me no matter what I say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
