What are we supposed to think about Tom Ryan?

Worst brick throwers in the NCAA....

Thought about these threads when I watched the Cannon/Fish match.  If you haven't seen the feed, Ryan threw another fit.

In fairness, I sort of get it.  Cannon got a reversal, and then 2 backs.  Ryan apparently thought there were two sets of backs (4 total), and threw a brick.  The ref's back was blocking the view, but from what I could see, it looked like a stupid brick -- especially since Cannon was on a roll.

Well, the refs in the booth upstairs went the other way, and *took away* the two backs that had already given. (I thought there was a 2-count.)  Ryan freaked out, and the refs just sort of stared at him as he yelled, as if to say "dude, it wasn't my call, it was the guys upstairs."  Finally Ryan starts demanding to know the names of the refs upstairs (I guess so he could find their address and egg their house?), and won't shut up.

Fish got a nice toss in OT to win, so Ryan throws *another* brick, but only to whine about what happened 5 minutes before, how it's the worst officiated match he's ever seen, etc.  Stieber's trying to tell the ref to please give them their brick back since Ryan's just being a wack-job.

Anyway, another bad look for Ryan.  His ill-considered brick cost Cannon the match, both by losing him 2 points and letting the lesser-conditioned Fish recharge for OT, and while perhaps his yammering was justified when the swipes were retracted, he just. wouldn't. let. it. go.  

I came here looking for this after catching a replay.

Strategy-wise, that was him throwing something up in the air to see if it stuck.  I guess a part of their expectations was cannon would go further on the front side. It's immensely ironic that I'm pretty sure he was arguing that takedown was a slam...when they thing that set him off when advocating for rogotzke was rogotzke's own slam.

I'm getting tired of that behavior.  This is not meant as a joke, though many will take it as such, but maybe somebody really needs to keep an eye on coach's demeanor after his car crash.  Gotta be head trauma that goes along with that.

This may shock you all, but a person who believes his own children should not get immunized against the majority of the world's worst defensible diseases such as measles, mumps, and rubella probably doesn't have the highest level of intellect.

dude gtf outta here with that. Talk about wrestling.  That you typed this shows exactly the type of person you are and that is very very unimpressive.

One thing is for sure: a towering intellect has never been a requirement for wrestlers!
