1032004 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 1) Claiming that Starocci is getting $1.2-$1.3 million this year. Weird how the kid jumps in to correct the coach 2) Club coach telling all his wrestlers they should get held back (and the club was the one that posted this to social media) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMO2 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Guy's an idiot. He uses the only (possible) 5x NCAA champ ever as a reason why kids should get held back. Guessing this douche doesn't have kids. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you really joke like that with younger kids? And why the hell would a club post that to social media? If he's joking then so be it, but he needs to catch a clue either way, and so do you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appears to be “joking” in the sense that he probably doesn’t really think every single kid in the room should get held back, but he certainly seems to be saying that it will benefit your wrestling career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcement Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 @TNwrestling I also didn't get the impression he was joking about the overarching point he was making, even if some of the hyperboles within were intentional for comedy ("my advice today is to get held back"). Maybe you know him better than we do - but genuinely curious what gave you the impression he wasn't being serious. It is easy for snippets of things to be caught out of context and appear misleadingly bad. If this is one of those cases, enlighten us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the criticism for why this coach is an idiot is because he telling, in a serious manner, all of his kids they should be held back. I doubt every kid he called out by name is a future D1 AA so that extra year isn't going to help most of those kids in the long run. I have never heard of this guy so I doubt if he had one more year of eligibility and all the sudden his life is different. Perhaps spend more time trying to get your kids better at wrestling and life than trying to facilitate 19 year old seniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps spend more time trying to get your kids better at wrestling and life than trying to facilitate 19 year old seniors. Ben Askren, a pretty good wrestler and coach, doesn't seem to be a fan of holding kids back. I know he definitely feels NOT being held back helped him in the long run. His belief is that graduating on time gave him quicker access to tougher training partners, D1 competition, D1 training and facilities, and D1 coaching (although he had a great high school coach.) He felt that getting all that stuff a year earlier (actually on time) put him ahead of many of his contemporaries. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's calling out kids who were not held back and saying they should have been. I don't think anyone would do that unless they were joking. Or maybe he's half-joking; like he sees the value in holding back but is exaggerating here for laughs? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPhillips Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It's his philosophy and he's made it known before. He's posted as much in other forums. This is a fact, not a guess nor is it just my thought or opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakan Mead. I’m sure it did help him in particular especially if he got any scholarship money. Looks like he won a state title as a senior at 113, then wrestled 2 years at Ohio State getting a few starts, with his best win being over Jack Medley. It probably helps the guys the most that are on the borderline of being D1 or not. Not sure it makes much difference for the elite guys though.
