Scouts Honor

someone suggested in another thread that they explain every call that is reviewed i dont know about during match...but at least after, in press conference.. something... its almost like the old days of international and cary kolat they talked about it.. you lose.

get rid of step out. they had to add the caution and 1 b/c guys were gaming it

funny you should mention turtle up im happy for chance... great story and all... but he did a lot of turtling up

deserved... lol... you dont work your ass off to have crap like that...either way this is why college should stay folk

i was told this isn't the place to whine about flo

i saw an add bogo. hmmmm all in one place maybe not a good idea

if i slap someones purse... is that assault?

tampa is easy to fly into.. fly into clearwater/st pete

there is no SUPER LIKE button.. but it needs one for this response

worst or best. i would say brooks interview generated more interactions on a wrestling athlete than any other interview in history any pub is good pub?

I dont see any problem with the way FS does it. I like FS. we dont need to make it folk. just like we dont need to make folk FS

you have to let go of the hold.. hence you see spencer lee showing the ref his hands a lot..when working his tilts

brands might be referring to gable's philosophy of peaking.. it's not about peaking you dont have the valleys i will have to do some looking for the graph

i actually was going to type up something like this... and ran out of time.. then forgot about it maybe we push freeco back a few months... so its not right after NCAA's... this wont always work b/c of UWW schedule... if we move NCAA to only spring, this will make a bigger problem i think but I could attend a summer event after a spring event... just not really two spring events, b/c time, work and money

i think its still exciting.. b/c in folk, the people rooting for the bottom guy are hoping he gets out. its not that easy to ride out...

thats a possibility for sure... is brooks not as good as valencia? yes valencia has no lungs... but brooks really didn't do much until the 2nd im not sure about the others

so you are saying b/c it might be easier to score more guys are taking the risk and shooting? this could be true... i still would like to see some data there were lots of come from behind wins... but most times i attribute that to the guy who was behind finally started to wrestle

what if we treated the rtc's like a pro team with a salary cap... and they competed in duals... i know its been tried before... but those weren't affiliated with a school

again, i apologize... i thought you were referring to my post. yes i agree, the pics he posted weren't representative

i dont disagree really but we all KNOW , that stalling isn't going to get called to decide a match... at least not very often

yes, im sorry. I was unclear about my intentions. I am referring to people who want the pushout in folkstyle. I dont think it has really increased action. it has increased scoring... but it has also changed wrestling technique and not for the better

the three point takedown intrigues me, but it worries me, in that it could shut down action ... if it begins to favor defensive/counter guys i like the new swipes... rewards people turning although i know many people whined when the 4 point turn was introduced b/c of the 'cheap' titls.... isn't that the same argument.. you dont want to get laced... keep ankles apart... dont want to get cheap tilted... keep good position and get out not sure about riding time only if you get a turn... i hope it will increase turn attempts... but it may increase stalling on the bottom... b/c i know he wont get a point if I can just maintain my base... again.. it would be nice to see some data on this... or a trial run somehow i have just always been keen to the phrase be careful what you wish for again, scoring isn't going to increase attendance. action is. drama is. (im not sure a stepout in FS has increased this) how do the attendance numbers at US open compare to years before the tactics of a match aren't going to increase attendance.

the 80's called , they want their foreign policy back or something like that another great argument you just made the sad thing... even if we did wrestle FS our whole lives... we still wouldn't understand the interpretations we get... many coaches who have coached for decades still shake their heads... and not just from US refs see kolat, mc, and a host of others but yeah.. you maybe have some kids to invite to a drag show?

https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/10917639-d1-coaches-weigh-in-on-ncaa-wrestling-rule-change-proposals some quotes from coaches you know, at least we have people in positions who are looking at the sport through the lens of trying to improve it and trying to increase action. we’re kind of in digestion mode here and it’s all really new and just seeing whether this is going to help our sport. “I think all of these can be summed up with great intention, we’ll see if it lines out to good actions.” was a little disappointed because I don’t know if the rules are going to achieve what they’re hoping.” The rules are big enough changes that matches will look different. (They’re) going to have an impact. You see all the comments that it’s going to help grow the sport. I hope that is the case, we tryin!! “I’m not a huge fan of a lot of them, to be honest. I think the new rules obviously favor a better athlete for sure. You take mat wrestling out of the equation, you take a lot of the conditioning factor out of the equation, it’s not going to be advantage Missouri coach Brian Smith “Are we focused on the ground level, or should we be focused on a 30,000-foot view? The bigger picture is why the decline in viewership and attendance and fans not liking the action or whatever the problem on the mat is? When you go out to 30,000 feet, what have other sports done? The last 3-5 years football, baseball, all these sports have found ways to shorten their events and they’re trying to get closer to a two-hour window. We’re even seeing the purpose of these tournaments don’t matter now, where it’s getting a minimal amount of matches to compete in the tournaments that come at the end. Could this be the issue of why we’re losing fans? he addresses the lack of importance of duals. i agree. but im not solely focused on a dual meet championship. but you would have fewer ducks IF the duals meant something beyond just winning... seeding maybe then says this... and i agree "Are we trying to change the rules within the sport when we need to change how our season and championship is run? That doesn’t mean taking away the crown jewel, the individual tournament. That can still be had pop agrees “The rules are big enough changes that matches will look different. (They’re) going to have an impact. You see all the comments that it’s going to help grow the sport. I hope that is the case, but ultimately, dual meets are what’s going to grow the sport. That’s another topic.” but even these coaches... why cater to the fan who isn't a fan I don’t mind the three-point takedown in the sense that it incentives more risk-taking and hopefully it makes it advantageous and better for the fan who’s not a wrestling fan and comes in off the street and maybe more entertaining for them.” none of them addresses a step out.. but can you at least see what I mean? lets not throw it against the wall and see if it sticks... lets get some data... lets make that data available. back up your claims.

just more opinion
