DO NOT LIST ANY NAMES!!!!!!!!!

 

Are refs being consistent throughout they association, with calls, being able to talk to them, and not making the game about themselves

 

From what I've seen I do not think so. I will say I've probably not seen near as many game as some on here have but some like the spot light to much. I've seen coaches try to talk to them and they just walk away. Calls verses no calls are terrible and they appear to hold some player to a different standard.

Our big man has had calls go against him that were off the wall. The refs never wanted to talk about it He was being punished for being bigger that the other guys on the floor.

Wow do I know how that goes. They told ours the other night he couldn't hold his arm up parallel to his shoulders because his elbow was in the face of the defender. They call two fouls on him because of it.

Two words :

THEY'RE TERRIBLE!!

 

From what I've seen it's pretty much everywhere. All about them, let players and coaches decide games, not them !

When only players and coaches decide games isn't that called a scrimmage? Or, do you have another idea for eliminating mistakes and biases by referees?

 

Even top, pro-level referees are not without faults. And, when one considers how many hundreds are needed at the high school level on game nights, there is likely to be bad ones. The system is not perfect. But if the number of referees were whittled down to only those who are without fault or bias there likely would not be enough to go around.

They're not held accountable! You're right,there are a lot of good officials but definitely not enough to go around. Most take pride in their job. Just takes 1 out of 3 to make the whole crew look bad. My biggest complaint is inconsistency. Calling one way then completely changing. I've seen some scrimmages called better by the way !

Here is the deal . Refs will never be perfect all we ask is be consistent . Way too many bogus rules now from logos tights shorts rolled over . Had a ref jump a kid in jv for switching his shirt on the court . Is any of that really a big deal . Guess they are instructed to not get in conversation with coaches which is just not right .,the good ones will still give you explanations .,lets face it they aren't professional . You just hate it for kids cause someone season will come to an end based on their calls . Our coach says it best play great and don't let it come down to a call .

Refereeing is a thankless job at any level. I just don't remember it being like it is now. One reason there is no accountability is they're not enough of them. They can't hold accountable or discipline any because they have no others to use. I've talked with a couple and they all say the same thing not enough of them and not enough new ones coming in. Some good ones are still around but you get one good one with two not so good and it can make for a long night. I'm not sure what the answer is just don't think TSSAA really cares as long as the games are covered.

T$$AA is all about the money. You're absolutely right, somebody's season will come to an end because of incompetence. They should realize people don't come to watch them, they come to watch the game, and to whoever said that if it were left up to the coaches and players it would be a scrimmage? It would be called better!

Quit complaining about it from the stands, take matters into your own hands and become one!  That way you can do your part in correcting the situation instead of getting on a website and complaining about it.  That's what wrong with our country today, too many people want to complain and point fingers instead of rolling up their sleeves and be a part of fixing the issue.  Yeah there are some ref's that aren't the best I've experienced it myself as a assistant coach and a head coach, but its not an easy job.  I've never missed a call from the stands, I'm sure you haven't either.   :popcorneater:

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
