Also mentioned (years ago) that he stopped doing leg passes in MMA so he didn't get caught in a leg submission during the entanglement.
Just this week, he argued that PD should not be a thing in college wrestling. This is EXACTLY why PD should be a thing. Dangerous positions, that while not "illegal" are often unintentional and can result in injury. Not every position can be covered by the rule book!
Meanwhile, last week, Ben (whom I am a fan of) was still under the impression that a toe hold was illegal (but it hasn't been for year.)
I hope he is fine, and I'm sure he will be, but PSU may want to evaluate their 1950s training methods after recent issues with Howard, Nagao, SVN, and now Stall Rocky. Almost half the lineup, not to mention "no-knees" Kerk.
Does Cael's loss from his redshirt year count? Does "undefeated" have an asterisk next to it? He was enrolled, at Iowa State, there was a referee, they had a match at a collegiate tournament.
No... because they both wrestled under the rules of the day.
How about some questions?
Do you think one of his athletes, who appears to worship him, would use a substance that "Coach Cal" did not tell him to.
Do you think that with all the blood tests that they say the Treigning Lab has them perform, that an athlete would be on EPO without the great Coach Cal noticing a unexpected ridiculously high RBC or some other marker?
Says the guy with the 85 VO2 max!

Just know these guys talk about "Coach Cal" as if he were the Messiah; they would never put anything into their bodies that he didn't recommend.
P.S. Best part of the "Coach Cal" press release is he calls himself a "man of few words" and then proceeds to use far too many words and butchers standard conventions of written English repeatedly.
I'm talking about Coach Cal from the Treigning Lab, but I have often wondered if that was Gilman's Voodoo practitioner.
PSU and the NLWC both have memberships with the Treigning Lab. So did TJ Dillashaw, when he tested positive for EPO during his horrific weight cut.
Guy in California who seems to have a somewhat cultish following and engages in pseudo-scientific practices, and has had methods and "supplementation " practices come into question.
Let's put it this way... he arouses suspicion in the MMA world...
OK, but what about the other guy who is ranked #1 who had a similar growth spurt?
Not to mention, Hidlay made weight at 197 for a dual and then went 86 kg the next day (Farrell). Can't be too much of a "growth spurt."
