I have seen very few poor sportsmanship behaviors in Wrestling. One happened last year when a blond headed young man body slammed at an angle onto the back a wrestler that then was out for PT and has not wrestled again. As as friend that is 55 years old that lives in San Diego [looks like a Navy Seal] said " there is no high school sport that should support anything that could permantly injure these teens b/c the goal is to enjoy sports and stay in shape the rest of your life". Let's face it most of these guys are not going to the Olympics! Sat. at the Duals in Clarksville ----I saw Nick Moore of McCallie in the most blatant excuse for poor sportsmanship push Chris Lomas out of the ring. The Ref. only gave him a tech. I would have kicked him out of the tournament! He was followed by 2 other McCallie young men that were 'definitely not gentlemen' using equally poor sportsmanship behavior , just not as blatant. This is what makes Wrestling look bad and the coaches are the leadership. Leadership comes from the top! And, the Referees have the obligation to nip this stuff in the bud and help these young men learn how to behave on a mat.!!!!!!
