Embracing the Most Infamous Spladle in NCAA History

No, the caldwell pin was an objectively bad call.  That ref was just excited to be somebody that day, you can tell when you watch the video again.  There are definitely phantom pin calls.  Look at Truax Rogotzke in their dual,  Truax had a shoulder inches off the mat, the ref just wanted to be a person that day and called a pin.  

In the Kelly/Penrith one, Kelly did a better job of scooting out towards the head.  If you look when they roll over, Penrith immediately has one shoulder flush to the mat, and is almost able to pop his head out as they are going over.  This is the difference between the wrong leg in banana split cradle which mendez and caldwell hit, vs the single leg defense spladle, which is the king of spladles.  The single leg defense one starts far more square, and presents the shoulders to the mat more effectively.  

Kelly spladled me far too often lol.   Please.  Please take my left leg he said lol.      Or my right one.   Either is fine ha

I think getting pinned by a Double Grapevine would be more embarassing.

A bit more rare than a spladle and many on the mat haven't seen one in competition.

For me the ultimate most embarrassing way to get pinned would be the Saturday Night Ride.  Especially if your opponent wanted to top it off with jazz hands
