Ryder Block vs. Chance Lamer - Stall Call

[Hurricane Wrestling]

Block won in SV on a stalling call.  The call was made within 10 seconds of a restart after they went OOB.  Lamer never left the center of the mat during that 10 seconds nor did he back up. Manning was livid. 

It seemed such an awful call that I went back and re-watched the match to see if it'd missed something.  I still can't figure out what the ref was thinking.

Any other opinions on the call?  (It was the 149-pound 9th place match on Mat 1.)

My opinion is that SV matches ended in stall calls are always a shame. I think it puts the refs in a hard position. I would have liked to seen that match end from wrestling not from a stall call

It was absolutely a terrible call!

I agree it was a shame but Lamer was just trying to coast to TBs and Block was all over him so it was hard to argue with that call even if the timing was brutal for Nebraska.

Theres been a handful of matches that refs have blown , you could almost say rigged. The van Ness, Rocco, van dee and now Lamer match were absolutely pathetic! Officials need to start being held accountable for the good of the sport!
