I forgot to add that I wouldn't make it a stop of action stall like the top grab. Count to 5 issue stalling, start counting again. Basically holding the ankle for 10 seconds is a point. 15 seconds two points 20 four points 25 a DQ.
-
If you want to increase taking shots and scoring, make grabbing the ankle by the defensive wrestler(the non-initial shot taker) the same as a top wrestler grabbing the ankle. 5 seconds is a stall. A wrestler could still sprawl, chest wrap, crotch lock but the grab the ankle and hope for a stalemate days would be done.

The Sparks/Hidlay duo was on Matcast.
-
Sparks/Hidlay have a way of explaining things that a casual fan could understand without talking down to hard core fans. Plus they seemed to genuinely like each other. One could imagine them going to dinner between rounds. I think it's funny that anyone who thinks Burroughs is a terrible announcer is automatically a Penn State fan when it's actually anyone with a higher than room tempurature IQ. Tom Brady is arguably the greatest football player in history. He's an awful announcer.

Andrews and McGrath were hired for one reason and it's not their amazing intellect.
-
"Big boy sports" get interviewers with expertise in their sport. Wrestling gets a twatwaffle that doesn't even have a passing understanding of the basic rules.
-
Hidlay has been a breath of fresh air. The worst part of the entire weekend will be Saturday night when there's no longer matcast and we go to an insufferable narcissist like Burroughs talking to hear himself talk and making things about himself. Hidlay's strong performance is going to make that difference even more pronounced.

A lot of people are scared of clowns and Quint is the biggest clown interviewer.

It was bad but hell the man announcing for matcast once spent over 5 minutes of a match with a foot out of bounds in the finals. Stevenson turned it into a sumo match. He wasn't trying to score but bullied Slav with vastly superior strength.
-
My comment wasn't defending Slava but the randomness that stalling is called. I forget what match it was but one wrestler had like 5-6 shots to none, backs other wrestler to the edge, other wrestler circles back in so wrestler's back is on the line, wrestler takes one step back and is hit. Hoffman's head was on the mat for 5 minutes. Either he needed hit or Kerk did. Refs are only calling stalling on the edge and personally I think it's kind of gutless.
-
People like reverting back to the "best NCAA performance" yet don't look further. Of course they did. Their weight classes cleared out and they arguably were worse at Iowa. Eirmann was beating Nick Lee when he was at Missouri. Woods was the second highest placing returner and placed second. Then got worse the more time he spent in the Iowa room.
-
The insanity that Slav was stalled out yet Hoffman spent over 5 minutes with his forehead on the mat and gives up 0 stall points.
-
The ref and Steveson happened. There's been much worse stalling so far that resulted in only a point
-
Both were with seconds left in the 3rd so if anyone ties him for number, he'll lose on time
-
Why does everyone assume I haven't ...oops I mean wouldn't, yea wouldn't steal a car?
-
If you search online their are pirated matcasts out there.
-
thought he had neutral danger at the end of the second.
-
Now you have me watching Lehigh in the wrestlebacks. For no reason at all other than your constant reminders.
-
Did Iowa really lose a team point for the coaches during Cruz getting bonused in the consis?
-
The NCAA/arena didn't properly set up the system to feed info in to track. A junior tournament in podunkville can set it up correctly but the NCAA needed certain things a certain way just because that's how they wanted them, not because it produced the best content for everyone. Some of that was catering to things ESPN wanted.
-
I had it as 9 bonus and Bartlett. Kasak, Haines, Van Ness pins, Kerk, Starocci, Mess, Lillendahl techs, Barr and Davis majors... And Bartlett being Bartlett.
-
It's not Track. Put the blame on the NCAA, the arena, and some on ESPN. They were the ones who screwed the pooch on this.
-
Is Nebraska having the worst round in recent memory?
-
He scored twice that many points.
-
You would think but it didn't happen in the second period.
