I thought the officiating was above average and consistent, all weekend.

My only complaint with them is their consistent inability to call stalling.

It was horrible.

I don’t want to call out teams...and I know that “selective stalling” is crucial in Duals, and a dual tournament.....but, there is a team that has 5 exceptional kids and 9 decent kids....those other kids do an outstanding job at selectively Wrestling. If the refs don’t make those kids wrestle it makes for a very frustrating match, as a spectator...and a wrestler.

Watching match after match of backing up to edge from neutral, and Wrestling balled up and flat on their stomach for minute after minute, match after match is just horrible.

i get it...if I’m their coach...in a dual tourney...I tell them to do the same thing, until the ref makes you wrestle.....alas, the refs just let it go....dual after dual.

That said....the officiating gets a solid B from me.

I thought the officiating suxed   especially the bald guy who looked like the gay cop in wild hogs movie who had a million false starts because he was trying to trick wrestlers on when he was starting  

 I'm pretty sure the official that you are referring to is me.  I can assure you that I would not bait wrestlers for a false start.  Normally I do not respond to message boards but in your case I had to make an exception. Your post was so funny!  Classically hilarious. A literally think I laughed for a minute straight!  

P.s.

Suxed is correctly spelled sucked.

Just fyi

Since you popped up....can I ask if you find “stalling” to be the toughest call to make?

I understand scrambles on the edge can really be a close call....but it seems “stalling” is always so obvious to the fans that want it called.

I would love to hear your thought process when reffing, and trying to decide when the bottom man is stalling vs when he is simply being overpowered by the man on top.

Thanks, if you have the time.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
