I am so happy that something good has come from this and maybe it will bring more attention to the match should it happen to another wrestler further down the road.

I didn't post the video, however..I had Trents permission before I posted anything.

That was the EXACT intent on the post. It doesn't change the outcome of the match. Both boys are AWESOME wrestlers and had a very exciting match going! I truly appreciate all input recieved by everyone that posted. I'm simply a mother...I don't know all the rules, therfore...I have to ask. it's a mothers instinct to protect and defend her child, and I'll probably do this til the day I die. My son loves the sport and I do as well. thank you again for your responses. Stephanie Hancock

EXACTLY!! thats the reason I gave the explanation. You obviously know my son.

Never did I state I was even on the floor...re-read the post...I said the team camera person was beside the table.

look...this is irrelevent to this post...the officials I'm speaking of are the officials that ref'd the match as they were waiting to start the match because they were handing medals out of another match...again not my video!This video was recorded by the team cameraman. And I agree! the tournament director/scorekeepers/tableworkers should have asked the camera person to leave.

Standing right beside the table with officials all around and never asked to move.

this is not my video...mine was recorded from the stands...this was the team video

On the contrary...it was one foot not two and the last i've read one foot doesn't constitute staying in bounds. You don't award a takedown if "one foot" is inbounds..it requires both. I didn't post the video...If you read the rest of the posts...they were questioning the call and wanted feedback from others. I think the poster was trying to get a general concensus on the call.

Regardless of the top wrestler spinning around the fact is..they were out of bounds and it should have been brought back to the center

Anotherref...of course Trent didn't question you..He was raised not to question authority.. by me, his mother!! And my son doesn't make excuses..thats the reason he smiled and said thank you. Trent was sure the pin was good and no out of bounds called because he thought Goldsteins feet were in bounds. The question was made by me, and after reviewing the video in the car on the way home Trent questioned it also so I asked someone to review it and thats what they posted. Every referee doesn't call things the same..that was evident this past weekend. I can respect that too. However, this was a region championship that should have been watched really closely, regardless of the fast and furious activity. The reason for this post is stated above...were they out of bounds? Thats the question..not who won or lost.

at 140, the Cosey/Williams match didn't happen because Cosey was a no show. I think they said he had bronchitis.

I never got past Little...
