wrestlingtime 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 Hello,Are there any women who coach or officiate wrestling in Kentucky/OH/IN tri-state area.It seems there might be more women who might help out and participate in the sport. The NFSHAsays over 5000 women participate in wrestling.Seems you would have seen the growing of more female wrestling referees and coaches.Will there ever be a female wrestling coach?Who knows????[glow=red,2,300][/glow] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old140 4 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 I know there is a woman ref here in KY. I believe she also might of helped out with coaching at a school in one of the previous years as well. Not sure of her name though. Someone on the board probably has better info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwrestler81 6 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 There used to be a female coach in the Cincinnati area she is the wife of Dexter Carpenter who coaches at Hamilton Badin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charger Coach 14 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 I think the female old140 is thinking of is Toska Adams. Not for sure though, but I'm pretty sure that's her name. She officiates and she helped coach at Shawnee last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiltfor3 20 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Toska, I believe was AD last year too. She officiated the region 4 state qualifier for JVs tonight. I think her son was/is a wrestler in Indiana and I've also seen her ref at Providence before.From her calls and actions she also must do freestyle and greco although I've never seen her at anu USA tournaments.

FalconWrestling 147 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Fort Campbell technically has a woman head coach. But we pretty much call her Mrs. Gusse never Coach Gusse. She was brought in because our progam needed to be overseen by a dodea accredited staff member or something like that. She handles paper work and hires our coaches.

Charger Coach 14 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Yes, Toska was the AD last year. She does/did officiate greco/freestyle. I've seen her a couple of times in the offseason. I'm pretty sure she works a lot of the offseason tournaments Jeffersonville H.S. has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrestlingtime 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 wow...sounds like she is not up with the folkstyle wrestling rules..i guess? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckThat! 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 shes not even that good of an official period...anyone can ref freestyle wrestling that why u c teenagers doing it at some tournaments...you can honestly ref freestyle from a chair...takes no skill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingtime 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah..you make a very good point. Those FS wrestling rules are tough to follow? The cheap back pointsand there seems way too much standing around in freestyle matches...low scoring.Plus, those clinch rules are a joke.And who needs mat judges. You never see a mat judge in a High School wrestling match.I guess most hs wrestling coaches might think they are a mat judge at times.who knows?Folkstyle rules are better.

tiltfor3 20 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Too bad the rest of the world doesn't agree with you. It is just what we are used to in the US. There's nothing more exciting than a 5pt throw. That'll get you DQed in folkstyle. What do you like better college or high school? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingtime 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 Those 5 point throws are extremely rare in FS wrestling i think. Most scores are 2-1, 1-0 and the best 2/3 format. Not much happens during a FS match. Plus, you have mat judges, etc...I think most people prefer NCAA folkstyle rules. The NCAA Wrestling tournament, and all HS wrestling tournaments have used the same folkstyle rules for years. Nothing will change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiltfor3 20 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 You could also be describing the NC2A finals. I think those scores are pretty much in line w/ 90% of semi and finals. So, here's the dig - If college is more interesting, why do we reward them with riding time but, penalize HS for stalling?To get this back on topic how many points would you award for a high amplitude throw of a female ref?

wrestlingtime 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 good question, is she worth a 5 point throw? LOL :? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Granby 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 Go to fargo you will se many 5 point throws..trust me. and as for toska she is a great ref very consistant, i dont know what you all see. And a FS ref is no different than a Folkstyle ref. They still have to know whats goin on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eville dad 17 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 I've seen Toska working at Fargo, thats a pretty good testament to her ability to be included in that group!Shes one of the best in my opinion, works hard to see whats going on, knows the rules and treats wrestlers and coaches fairly and with respect!
