Agreed...didn't say it was.
But he wasn't... he was wearing black and orange and was a back-up who was supposed to wrestle an extra match.

Are they wrestling another school's backups the rest of the year? This is what I actually said "A duck is when someone avoids wrestling someone who is in the same realm of ability and ranking that could upset you and therefore affect your seeding at conference or NCAA. "
What is the real purpose of a duck? It's to avoid a potential upset in order to preserve your seed.... not avoiding a 2nd string wrestler. This does not qualify as a duck, especially when it was arranged and agreed upon by coaches and wrestlers.
