now compare it to freestyle.
the pushout.
the guy with the leg up can't finish. b/c the other guy has to much defense.
so instead of calling this a stalemate or no points. we let the guy walk him out of bounds for a point.
I say it's stalling. he has my ankle, or perhaps whole leg and isn't working to finish. he just pushes me out now b/c we gave him a free point. or maybe i just dive down to the mat so im grounded... now im stalling to avoid the pushout.
so what you guys are saying is any time someone grasps in desperation we should just give a point to the other guy.
wrestling is about control. if i have controlled part of you such that you can't score.. so be it.
that's a stalemate.
