WrestlingGod Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 (edited) I don’t generally do this. But please someone explain to me how this is an appropriate call. The call is initially for potentially dangerous. He immediately calls for injury time and Posey quickly says he’s good to go and is then DQ. Coach Miller goes to the table where the ref says “He isn’t going to argue with me”. Yet it was ruled an Inj Def on track wreslting. Here’s the video. Your thoughts?

BOUNCE Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 What did he say to the ref that pissed him off? Definitely not an injury default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was stopped for potentially dangerous and he called for injury time. Posey said no I’m good and he dq’d him and ruled it an injury default. Honestly I have no idea. None.

You tell me if Posey was being malicious in any way towards the ref….enough to warrant a dq then ruled an injury default (how he dq’d then ruled inj def is beyond me). he looks just as confused as the situation progresses.

BOUNCE Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Oh I agree…it doesn’t look that way. I heard the ref say not to argue with him…not sure what was said but apparently he didn’t like it. He should have let them wrestle and took a team point at most. Im sure Pete had a discussion with him to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallynotLEO Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Didn't see this one but I walked over to watch a couple AC vs PF matches while waiting on Halls/Cleveland. PF kid broke an AC kids finger, on purpose. AC kid holds his up his hand to the ref, finger is straight sideways. Ref looked at him, said "I didn't see it, you need to finish wrestling." No injury time. Refs were generally ok, but man when they were bad, they were really bad. Won't even try to keep kids safe. To add insult to injury, PF coach made fun of it.

The best advice I was given was by Jim Gabriel. He said “if you do your job right nobody should even know you were there”. it felt like they wanted to be seen today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallynotLEO Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Good advice. As the day went on, they seemed to insert themselves more and more. It's like they got tired and aggravated later in the day. I get it, long day. Some rude fans and all but keep kids safe. It's the number one thing.

Deacon55 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Will the refs from today be working the individual tournament next weekend? How are they selected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 If he was disqualified is he eligible to wrestle in the region tournament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsTNFan Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 That’s a tough call. Unfortunate ending for Summitt too. 4th place with the best team that they have ever had. That Cleveland match took a lot out of them, but battled tough in the consolation bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
