Yes, address more! If you can address posts in thoughtful, factual, and meaningful way - then you should. That is why we're all here (most of us - some sad sacks are here just to create chaos.) I'll join in, here's what I read from the American Legion (I have a post a few blocks away that I visit regularly): WASHINGTON — The veteran organization the American Legion weighed in on the upside-down American flag controversy on Thursday, noting that flags should only be flown this way if there is "extreme danger to life or property." The potential implications of flying an American flag upside down have been the subject of debate since reports emerged that an upside-down flag flew outside Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's home in early 2021. The justice said the flag was raised by his wife, Martha-Ann. Some supporters of former President Donald Trump have also reportedly flown upside-down flags in support of the former president falsely claiming that the 2020 election was stolen, leading it to be interpreted as a "stop the steal" symbol. "The American flag is a symbol of courage, strength, freedom and democracy," said the American Legion National Commander Daniel Seehafer in a statement to NBC News. "American Legion members swore with their lives to protect all that the flag stands for." Seehafer pointed to the Flag Code, a detailed set of guidelines laying out how the American flag should be displayed, as evidence the flag should not be inverted unless to signal distress. "Our organization also led the creation of the U.S. Flag Code, which includes the following: ‘The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property,’” Seehafer said. Alito had told Fox News last month that his wife flew the upside-down flag after an argument with a neighbor. Martha-Ann Alito told The Washington Post in January 2021 that the upside-down flag was "an international signal of distress" and appeared to indicate it was raised in reference to a neighborhood argument.

Shart-GPT says headshuck is a small minded, self-important, sarcastic poster who uses a weak sense of humor to try to hide his significant personality defects. Further, Shart-GPT says "Don't make me analyze THAT guy again. Ick."

You think he'll get booed?

Why? Nothing funny. Your post is dumb. Maybe you're a moron. Or some kind of a fool? I'm thinking both...

But did I?

Yes, Hassan Yazdani is technically correct. Cherat is a place in Mazandaran that I believe his parents or grandparents are from and it would not really be used when referring to him in Iran. But I do think it's cool that @Husker_Du calls him Cherati, lol.

On the NCAA side, OSU and PSU each have entire compliance departments to make sure he was following the rules. On the club side, I'm guessing that the RTCs are on their own when it comes to onsite monitoring and compliance. Anyway, I wonder if Ben Provisor's situation is similar to Gilman's. He was sanctioned earlier this year for three straight Whereabouts misses in 2024 and was hit with the same suspension. No idea what Provisor is up to these days, but it wouldn't surprise me if he retired and assumed he could ignore the USADA Whereabouts submission deadlines; it sounds like a real chore (e.g., logging daily overnight locations, training & work schedule, doing educational tutorials) if you're not competing. Plus, he challenged the Whereabouts failure and requested a review, where maybe he said he was done with the sport. Wrestlers in the testing pool who retire are required to notify the USADA, UWW, and USAW in writing and there's a whole process involved. If Provisor didn't do any of that, it could explain why his sanctions were upheld by the USADA. I don't know if the suspensions limit Provisor or Gilman from coaching at the RTC or NCAA levels, but it sounds like wrestlers who get any sort of coaching or assistance from them could be in violation of the WADA Prohibited Association Rule. Not sure.

A lot to unpack here in this small but highly intuitive post of yours, bare with me as I surely don’t want to disappoint you any further: > “the most vocal”….within this 7 page thread, combined with the others on this same topic, I have commented exactly, wait for it, one time. Meanwhile you have others that sit here and spend all of there days going on and on and on, over and over again. I guess I’m just curious where you include me in the ‘most vocal’ group? Interesting. >kind of going along with that, you waited one hour, according to the time stamps, to make such a comment. Please understand I believe our differences make our country, and this world, the beauty that it is. I often say if we all thought and acted the same, the world would be a pretty boring place. Going along with that, I understand that some folks have nothing better going on or to do than to sit around here and wait for the next post they just have to comment and argue on. But that is another group I am not a part of. Both in the context of spending all of my days here looking to argue or come up with ‘gotcha moments’ to achieve some kind of inner warm fuzzy…nor in the context that I feel I need to comment and argue every post laid on here. Just not my thing, but at the same time don’t want to judge those that do have such goals. > finally, if you would have read, and been able to comprehend, the one post I’ve made on this topic…you will find that ‘what I think about them folks’ is very clear, I made it very clear in that one post I made. They have committed some horrible, inhumane atrocities. They are evil. The post you quoted does not deviate from that. I know that’s a lot for you to read, but as I said I would hate to disappoint you any further. Don’t feel better now?

Who were his advisors then? Surely okst or nlwc or psu have people who help with this crap. I don’t believe that’s plausible unless he 100% hid whatever his intentions were (steroids retirement whatever) and didn’t ask anyone for advice. Or he got shyte advice. Shyte or no advice? Maybe porta or the other psu apologists know?

But but but you said that 1200 Israelis slaughtered by Hamas is no big deal. How many are slaughtered by cops in a year???

I don't know why people overlook Movahed so much.

I think it’s reasonable to believe he didn’t realize a USADA suspension could effect his coaching.

I was in Nepal for about a month years ago. Kathmandu is an interesting city, because there's like maybe a dozen traffic lights total. In a city of millions of people. The bus I was on got stuck in traffic because a cow decided to take a nap on the road, and it's illegal to bother it. As far as places I want to visit, it's probably not possible right now, but Socotra.

A guy who hasn't read a book in years and doesn't know if he's supposed to uphold the US Constitution tried to do something he isn't allowed to?

Realizing that honeydew is the money melon, not cantelope.

I would not know. But I also disagree.

If Gilman truly dgaf. I guess that’s possible but who was advising him? You can possibly forfeit your ability to compete which is very reasonable given his age…. Or…. Who cares retire……. Or….. just hide from the testing and potentially forfeit your ability to make a financial living via coaching etc…. sometimes what is real is what is most plausible. if “hopped up on steroids” and old. Just retire. if “not hopped up on steroids”…. Just test. if I still wanna compete but I don’t wanna test…. Who knows. else. What a mystery.

I think that was just Willie TBH. However, Basch acknowledged that his initial opinion was that Gilman DGAF, but backtracked off of that while claiming he had no inside knowledge. But Basch was Gilman’s first interview after he left OSU, I’d be surprised if he hadn’t heard from Gilman before he commented on this story. Kinda seems to me that Gilman really DGAF until he realized it could effect his coaching, but yes that’s just speculation. But I also would bet Gilman didn’t realize he could be suspended until after he had already left OSU.

He doesn’t coach an NCAA team…

what if said ncaa institution is ethical? It may be why he went from idgaf to appealing no? Weren’t you one of the idgaf psu fans earlier in this thread ? A suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for drug test-related violations primarily affects your eligibility as an athlete. However, transitioning to a coaching role, such as coaching NCAA wrestling, involves additional considerations:U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)+2SwimSwam+2U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)+2 NCAA Regulations: Coaching Eligibility: The NCAA enforces strict standards of ethical conduct for coaches. Violations, particularly those involving ethical breaches or misconduct, can lead to disciplinary actions, including suspensions or show-cause penalties. A show-cause penalty requires any NCAA institution hiring the penalized coach to demonstrate why they should not face sanctions for employing that individual. This often deters institutions from hiring coaches with such penalties. NCAA+1Wikipedia+1Wikipedia+1Wikipedia+1 Impact of USADA Sanctions: While a USADA suspension directly impacts athletic participation, it can also raise concerns about a coach's commitment to fair play and adherence to anti-doping regulations. NCAA institutions may consider these factors when evaluating potential coaching candidates. Case Studies: Donnie Tyndall: The former head basketball coach received a 10-year show-cause penalty from the NCAA for violations related to academic fraud and financial misconduct. This penalty effectively barred him from coaching at the collegiate level during its duration. Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2Wikipedia Brad Bohannon: The former Alabama baseball coach was issued a 15-year show-cause penalty by the NCAA due to involvement in gambling activities and non-cooperation with investigations. This severe penalty underscores the NCAA's stringent stance on ethical violations. Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2Wikipedia Conclusion: While a USADA suspension does not automatically disqualify you from coaching NCAA wrestling, it can significantly impact your employability. NCAA institutions prioritize ethical conduct and adherence to regulations; thus, a history of anti-doping violations may be viewed unfavorably during the hiring process. It's essential to demonstrate a commitment to integrity and compliance with all relevant policies to enhance your prospects in securing a coaching position.

Watching these NBA dudes lower the ball through the net, knock down 30’ goals, or travel from end to end, seems like the rules should evolve to raise the hoop or something? It is exciting but not the game us little guys played in Phy Ed.

Unlikely that his USADA suspension would impact his ability to coach an NCAA team. USAW membership is not required.
