Best of the Best Duals

[WrestlingGod]

The number 1 and 2 coaches in the state? Just curious.

My guess is he means Boskin and Smith.

cbwrestler10 - I hear you but let me ask you this.  Do you know who wrestled who? 

 

Wouldn't it be nice to get that info out there?  Is there any good reason to keep it under wraps?

[wristbar]

That's funny. Smith is probably one of the top two. Bosken though?

The Number 1 and 2 Coaches in the State. 

In my opinion this event is the premiere Dual in the state.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great event and kudos to those putting it on, but there's a bit of hyperbole here. Maybe the premier USA Wrestling FS/GR dual in the state, but there are definitely other bigger, more stringent tournaments overall. But I appreciate your enthusiasm.

 

Number 1 & 2 coaches in the state?? Hahaha. No disrespect to Bosken but he's still wet behind the ears. Smith is building a legacy but I think it's still too early to saddle him with this title.

 

I agree with the others, we need to see results! If you can't post tournament results you're going to have a hard time claiming you held a premier event. Surely someone kept a scorebook that can be shared. And before you pile on me, yes I attended and paid my admission, but I only followed my Region. I would like to see individual results for the others.

If you are counting hardware is the vote even close as to who should be #1

I don't think there will be any results to post. I know books were kept but nothing was online. And I doubt anybody is going to jump on typing out all the results that were hand written just for coachT.

I believe Bowers was referring to the two head coaches from the #1 and #2 teams in the state this year.

 

But either way, I would not argue against them being ranked up there in the same spot simply as coaches either. Smith has obviously proven himself with hardware. I don't think anyone is arguing that... but Bosken did not just walk into an already developed team of kids that were coached by someone else. Those kids were taught by Josh at a young age and he primed them for high school. Then he had the luxury of being able to follow them up to the high school and continue with that group he's been working with for years. If you don't consider him one of the top coaches in the state, you haven't been paying attention to the youth level and one of the main reasons why Cleveland has stayed so good on a consistent basis over the last handful of years. Coaching skill cannot simply be measured in high school hardware. What he has done at the youth level and with the HS kids during the offseason is very impressive! He may not have the hardware yet, but no doubt he will produce plenty of hardware over his career as head coach. Two great coaches that will rank among the best ever in TN once they step down.

I understand that the results of the Duals would be nice to see, but the scores were kept by hand this year, so with that in mind if anyone want to know a specific out come of a match up please ask. To type up every dual on Coach T would be way to much to ask for, next year the Best of the Best will be on Trackwrestling.com. I appreciate all the feed back and support for this great tournament. I am always available by phone at 574-215-8586, if you have any questions.

Again Thank you for all your support.

[wrestler04]

Please.  It would take someone a half an hour or so to get the results up.  That's just lazy or you guys just don't care.
