Folkster

While I watch certain freestyle wrestling matches it appears to me (my opinion) that referees are calling PASSIVITY on the wrong wrestler or too soon, or I did not know how to apply the rule correctly while watching a match.

Brand's or Hawkeye's training would ensure there is gas in tank for the last 1:30 in the final period.

Agreed, they definitely have studied their opponents seem to have one of the better game plan(s) (skill-set development) and optimize strategy.

It seems USA wrestling has no answer for late-match come-backs (always difficult)? Gable Stevenson could and did. Our strategy seems to be get the lead and then risk manage the lead (in some cases stop offensive wrestling and find a way to lose. No Sidakov (one the best) score-late toolset. It is very hard to score big when behind, but seems most USA wrestlers are lacking tool-set(s) for coming from behind (meaning they picked strategy/tactics prior and lack adaptation if not working. I see frustration, defeat and have no highly rehearsed move-arsenal for scoring late. We all know big moves and late theatrics are low probability, but does USA wrestling have specialized drills and practice sessions that allows you to develop and possess late-match strategy for deficits that prepares wrestlers to dictate/fool, set-up up and increase your chance of completing the action successfully. Or maybe I just like Folkstyle (with moderate-aggressive stall calling) way more than freestyle and that is that. Thoughts?
