Refs - rules

[toobadtoosad]

Reftn If you are the guy who worked with loud vocal ref, the two of you were very good! But the other refs seemed to take a break when they assisted. Many times the assistant would stand back and never look at starting postions. Or they would just walk around watching.

 

The two of you were just the opposite. Both of you seemed to enjoy being out there. You both were intense. You were in ready positions to see fals starts or improper set ups. You made your calls were everyone knew what you were thinking. You have my vote for the best and hardest working team!

Maybe that was me, I try to work hard.

 

Clint, I have had the opportunity to work with you at the states, and am richer as an official for it. I dont quite get back to the 1968's for states, but glad you had the dedication to the sport to be there and hang in to be that lead official for some of us young uns coming up. I tip my hat to you.

Thanks for the compliment. I have enjoyed being a small part of the wrestling family. My plans are to be in Chattanooga for the traditional state tournament. Stop by and we'll share some old stories about the toughest sport on campus.

Clint,

 

I am one of three brothers who wrestled in three different decades for the same school. (Class of 74, 81 and 91) All three of us have wrestled with you on the mat and all three of us enjoyed you being there for us. I hope that I am able to keep going half as long as you have. Wish you were hanging around long enough to officiate my own kid. Thanks for being there for our sport. People like you have made it a better place.
