No one allowed to take pictures of sons on the floor

[mohawke]

I heard a lot of irate parents who were not allowed on the floor voicing their disapproval after the finals. Has this always been the case, or is there some kind of contract with a photography group that disallowed anyone taking photos? I know of no other state that does this; even at the NCAAs people are allowed to take photos of medalists. Is it always about money?

In years past parents were allowed on the floor. If this has changed, I think it is totally wrong. If a contract has been signed, how wrong is it that some photographer makes money on your child's picture and you are restricted from the floor...... so wrong

Parents were allowed on the floor; however, they were to the side of the podiums and away. If you wanted a picture of your child on the podium, you would have had to take it from the stands. Not all cameras are that great when zooming in so it was probably difficult for some parents to get a good picture of their son. Also, it was very crowded. I can only hope parents were accomodating and letting parents up to the rail when it was their son so they could get a good picture.

This seemed to have changed this year for the worse. In the past, parents were allowed on the floor to take medal stand pics and the stands were at the end of the arena. Not sure why the changes were made?

Did the Tssaa have a photographer taking pictures? If so where can we view and purchase these?

as wrestler for 10 years, 3 middle 3 high school and 4 in college and over 25 years as an official all i can say is BS- I am sick and tired of fans complaining about the officials- when I competed we didn't have these boards nor did we have fans or coaches cry. I didn't have tech fans- men went out and kicked a--. stalling was never an option. quit crying, men wrestle and made 100% sure it never and i mean never came down to the official.

maybe if he wrestled like a man this board would have no post at all.

wrestling is for men.

I guess you consider yourself a "Real Man" by calling out a high school wrestler. From your post it seems that you are the only one crying. I apologize if I hurt your feelings.
