Why is Summit not coming now. That stinks. I’ve been telling a Head Coach brother about some of the Summit kids hoping the coach might keep an eye on those kids. Especially how they have done in the last 2 tournaments.

Black Horse, Cleveland Duals, Beast of the East, then Knockout is a heavy schedule. Some of the kids are just banged up a little and need some time to recover before the Drennan Inv.

Summitt has wrestled an extremely difficult schedule so far this season.  However, I hate it when schools schedule events and then bail due to sickness or injuries.  Just take what you have in healthy starters and backups and wrestle the tournament.  It’s really not fair to the tournament director to allow someone to enter and then completely back out.  I know that this will not be a popular response but it’s the truth.

It most cases I'd agree with you. But this is a 500 mile drive and an expensive trip for a large national tournament to not bring your absolute best roster. 

 

I think, in this instance, its different.

I do and they don’t like it.  When you give a tournament director your word that you are going to do something I am of the school that you do everything possible to keep your commitment even if it hurts.  I have sacrificed several thousand dollars in my business career because I made a commitment to someone and I would do whatever it took to keep my word.

You keep your word to the tournament director even if your team is not it’s best.  This is nothing that I would not tell any of these young coaches.  Let’s stop making excuses and do what we say.

Agree to disagree.

I just wish more teams from TN would go to the Holy Angels. There are 14 colleges in North Carolina that have wrestling. Be a lot of coaches there to watch.

Not picking on you but this is a sensitive subject to me and when someone gives their word I expect them to honor that commitment.  When someone fails to keep their word because it’s not in their best interest to follow through with a prior commitment it just tells me what type of person they are and I never trust them going forward.
