Expand The theory on HR was after he got decked by Tyler Dow he got benched. To say there was disagreement on this point would be to put it mildly. Given that he has not wrestled in the three weeks since, it has to be injury. "Making a point" for this long would be counter-productive. They will not be running a 165 lber out to wrestle B1Gs and thereby essentially forfeiting the weight, so they need Assad ready. If he is healthy he is getting ready by wrestling. So he must be injured. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

The answer I was looking for was that there is zero reason for Brands to bench him for 3 competitions for getting pinned. The OP's question had a certain "breakfast" quality to it.

I don't blame her but he was very upset. I felt terrible for him. Expand I can do you one better. At the regional tournament we had a kid with a lead get slammed by a wrestler from the host school. The host school's trainer declared him fit to go. We ended up losing the match and immediately the trainer came over to look at him a 2nd time and said he had a concussion and had to withdraw from the rest of the tournament. He had no good reason for why he didn't have one 5 minutes earlier and was allowed to continue, but couldn't continue then.

The coach admitted later at Regionals.. I still think the rules should be the way they are
