This is the most stalling I have Ever seen!

UGH!!! Why do they not call stalling like this all season?

[WrestlingGod]

I take it someone close to you lost and you're a little bitter...

[mat73557]

ummmmmmm NO.  Did you even read my post?

 

Matches at Blackman last night went as expected.  EXCEPT for the fact that EVERYONE was called for stalling......Like literally everyone....

 

I am bemoaning the fact that matches are not called this way by most referees during the season.  (although sometimes at the state tourney)..

 

I like the stalling calls....... IF the kids are used to it.  It keeps things moving and keeps the wrestlers honest. But I'd like to see all of our refs be more consistent across the board and call the matches the same.  Because its not done that way, it's a distraction to the wrestlers and a source of frustration for them because what they are doing all season long is ok until they run into certain refs who call it properly.

Stalling should be called more heavily across the board, not just if the kids are used to it. Up the action.

I agree some refs let a kid obviously stall for a whole match.  Others call it quick. Call the stalling quick make the kids wrestle. Not lay on the ground and stall out. Ive watched matches that took 3-4 times the norm because anytime a kid got caught in a move they go out of the circle. Make them wrestle and wrestle hard.

I agree more stalling needs to be called more quickly when it is actually happening, then you dont get into quick calls at the end of matches that can look inappropriate based on the entire match letting it go without a call.  Also tight waist starts seem to have become the norm as well. 

 

I really wish empasis on agressive but smart offense was the norm, but Im not sure sometimes...

Add the push-out rule from freestyle.  Stops playing the line.

 

Change stalling to one point per call after the warning.  That lets the refs call it without DQ'ing a kid. Wrestling should be actively working to score unless they are overpowered. If they are overpowered, top man is stalling.  Put the focus on scoring points.

 

I know.  It won't happen but those are my two coppers.

automatic 1 1 And then 2 for fleeing the mat

There will still be stall calls. There has to be stall warnings, to some degree. I dont think you can just immediately start awarding points for it but just get more active on calling it now. It doesnt really make sense to just start hitting em and throwing around points.

Love the push out rule and only one point in bounds for TD's and near fall pts & pins
