My prediction is that some of the referee's still don't know the difference between 45 and 90 degrees. Shameful to the kids that work so hard. Plus , every time you break that 45 towards the 90 , a recount should start. Congratulations to the officials that do their job correctly.

Don't be upset with the results you didn't get because of the work you didn't do.

Solid Wrestling at the tournament however needs an overhaul to get with the times. Track or Flo should run the tourney. PUT CHAIRS IN THE CORNERS FOR THE COACHES. Weight classes should be posted at each table for fan viewing. With electronics provided by flo or track that would at least be a...

The issue for reduced numbers occurs in the transition years of middle school. The NWCA has addressed this over and over and over again. Too much wrestling too soon with too many competition and skill development lacking. When a number of youth matches end in a head lock pin it is mostly about...

Maybe they should change States if the competition is so below them. I observed many talented kids wrestling last weekend. Less than 5 % of kids who wrestle in HS will ever wrestle in college. The importance of a HS program better go way beyond the elite kids. It's not that hard to claim...

Great post. You can only control what your kids are doing. Yes DeSanto is a black mark on what celebrations should look like. Unless something drastically changes for him, he is on a course of self destruction whether it be in wrestling or life after. It will be hard to change his direction...

The reason for this thread wasn't to trash any official but more so to address some things that could be improved. I've been around the block a few times and understand that it isn't an easy job. Positioning is very important and that includes being on the outside to protect the kids from going...

I will not go that far. It's a tough job but one that requires work and effort. Too many parents and even some coaches don't know the rule book or even most of it. And also, you might just be seeing a certain group, over and over. I will try and attend an interpretations meeting to hopefully go...

I'm new to AZ but have had , at least, 8 weeks of watching wrestling. Lots of outstanding wrestlers and also some outstanding officiating. However, after attending the Mile High and Doc Wright tourneys, and being treated to some great wrestling and officiating, I have had to endure some pretty...

Would like to know who I can contact or where to find wrestling programs that might use a volunteer assistant or where jobs are posted. Will be living in the North Phoenix area. email is: cradleman1952@live.com Thank you, Ray Miro
