Should We Push Harder For Double Elimination?

Sommers....thanks for the invite. I'll be helping run the one down here with Bud Hennebaul. I don't have all the details yet, but when I get them I'll pass them on.

 

I have the easy part....organizing the computer side of things for entering results and bracketing. It'll be a little tougher this time keeping up 5 tournaments and 12 mats, but it should be a neat sight to see 5 finals (1A - 5A)...side by side in the Gwinnett Arena.

 

I almost forgot, Georgia weighs out on Friday and the guys look forward to that last weigh in.

Georgia still allows administrative morning weigh-ins and night before weigh outs. Understand that this is contrary to the NFHS rules. Georgia has decided to go out on its own with its weigh in rules. Now everybody that access to one, open your rule book to the first couple of pages. There you will find the rulesmaking committee for high school wrestling. Ronnie Carter, director of TSSAA, is one of those individuals. It is highly, highly, bet your life on it, unlikely that TSSAA deviates from the rules as written by that committee of individuals. Get over it. I ain't happening.

 

As far as double elimination is concerned I would love to have it.

There are lots of things that could be adapted to TSSAA thru Ronnie Carter if he so chooses to do so and adhere to what coaches are highly concerned.

It has happend this year that a naional rule to be modified-changed in regards to TN coaches------The non stopage of match for warning off. wrestler now when on their feet.

So if enough coach like changes thenget the ideas to Ronnie and TSSAA, change wrestling for the better of the sport.

We should push for double-Elim. and go back to 4 from every region and let these guys wrestle into the tourney thru pigtail. And the weigh-outs would be great. Why we are at it lets get ride of the 1 1/2% of body weight per week rule for weight mgmt.

 

Mr. Cater would probably not consider any of these. It would also be great to have TN. devided into large and small 2 classes not 3 or 5 but 2. This would put things more even and I believe help grow the sport in our state.

Where in the title of this topic does it say that this is a Ronnie Carter Bashing session. Ronnie Carter has made some great things happen. My point was, should we push for double elimination...like maybe have a united front to present the idea...Instead we have chosen to bash a man...

 

This is really disturbing...

Where do you see the bashing of Ronnie Carter? He has done alot for TN wrestling, but it takes coaches to get to him to get things done!!

Coach G if you are refering to my post I am not bashing anyone. I just believe he would not consider any of these points. Whether it is double elim. the weight outs or anything alot of us believe might be good for the sport. Wrestling is a sport that is hard to promote in my area and school, and through my travels I have found that it is that way in alot of areas; not just Tn. We need to do things to grow the sport we love, we need to make it more so more people can be exposed. More of us need chances to win. I was not knocking RC.

    • Yeah corbin thats the team.  Yeah they are 4a now, but in 2017 they was 3a, and didnt win a title, and was steamrolled in there playoff loss.  They alo got beat by a 1a team that year just looked up there secedule.  Point is a 3a team in tennessee good enough to win a title should not be losing to a 3a team in kentucky that got whipped in there playoffs plus lost to a 1a team.  We always say tennessee football is far superior than kentucky, but our teams have not been doing a good job of showing it.  Ive always felt a 3a champion in tennessee is equivalent to about a 5a team in the weak bluegrass state, but the few games ive followed the last decade we have been getting whipped.  Blackmon to bowling green, alcoa to corbin.   The worst is when Union City played a team about there size named mayfield the same year they won a title, but got beat by like 40 and shutout.  Then that mayfield team doesnt win a title.  Ive seen far to many of our teams win a title, and the same dang year lose to a school from kentucky thats about equal in size that isnt even good enough to win a title in there state.  That mayfield team beat trousdale county one year, and it was trousdale only loss in like a 40 something game stretch, then that team gets whipped in the finals in kentucky. So no team trousdale played in there class can beat them for like 3 years, and they go undefeated against there out of class opponents in tennessee, but lose the one game they play against kentucky to another small school that is around there size.  Do u not think it looks bad when our number 1 team in a class plays a kentucky team thats the 2nd-5th best team in there class of similar size and loses.  Sure doesnt look good to me.  We always down kentuckys football, and say we r superior, but we have looked like a joke in about every game ive cared to follow when i thought its a great matchup.  Alcoa, union city, blackman, trousdale co ive seen it to many times.   I was all over that thread when union city played mayfield, and a coulple of those mayfield fans got on this board, and there was a good back and forth, between us in tn and the mayfield posters.  We was telling them how superior union city would b and how they would run it down there throats all night.  Of course the mayfield fans just said wait and c tennessee football is behind the times, then after union city got destroyed we looked stupid.  Aint noone on here thought alcoa would lose to corbin either and they did.  I dont care if it was in ot, do we do moral victories now?  Hay we can win 10 titles a row in 3a in our state, but the 1 time we play a kentucky 3a team we lose, but lets b happy it was only by a point in overtime to a team that cant win in any class they have been in in 40 years so lets celebrate that our champion cant beat there runner up who was beaten badly in there title game lets be happy about it.
    • Northview was very impressive last year. I think their draw cost them last year. They played South Side and Dyersburg and then Heritage. South Gibson, South Side and Dyersburg only two will go from the west. Will be a dogfight for sure. Like I said earlier, if South Gibson don't learn to score they won't make it to state. Will be interesting for sure. 
    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.   
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
