This is why I hate discussing on CoachT. I have stayed off here discussing things for sometime. Someone asks for an opinion, someone states their opinion and then the bombs(personal) start flying...
Looking at this video, I made my call based on what I saw. While I don't believe the wrestler being taken to the mat was injured(and yes, shame on his coach) I feel the call was right.
I do teach my wrestlers how to lift and bring their opponent to the mat. However, In this case, the wrestler in control had other options.
Yes, I wrestled... Yes, I believe that wrestling has been watered down since I wrestled... however, I understand in our society that sues everyone for anything, refs have the err on the side of caution. Based on the rule book, this was a call the ref could make.
Hoosierdad, I don't think it should have been stopped as potentially dangerous due to the fact that the boy had control of the wrestler as he had him in the air. It was when he brought him back to the mat the referee probably thought he saw loss of control.
