Definitely subjective. It's not about who has more control, it's about who has more of an option to react. Haines was reacting. Generally a guy that was brought down by a double to his butt isn't as likely to try anything.
He doesn't have reaction time because it takes ten seconds to go through it frame by frame. The clock showed two seconds through it all. Why I say these other scenarios are irrelevant to this is because I see something in Haines reaction. Landing on your butt from a double doesn't allow for much else to happen. Again people look at the video, it doesn't look to me like his butt is down on the mat- at least not firmly. He's pushing up with hands and feet to fight out of the hold. He's turning towards Robb. He's trying to hip heist. The fact that he wasn't successful in the end and this would likely have been 2 in the center with the same amount of time left doesn't mean 2 should be given here. When Haines landed back down he twisted away pulling Robb off with the whizzer. (I saw another angle from above)
You definitely live up to your reputation here. Never said anything remotely resembling that. All I said was he needs time to react. I didn't say how long that is. That's up to the official and the situation.
And your entire argument here is irrelevant. IT ISN'T A HAND TOUCH SITUATION! You need reaction time. So the argument revolves around when to call control. You can't do that from standing. And then you have to factor in Haines reacting away. If he had hip heisted out, it wouldn't have been a td. The fact that he didn't is irrelevant to when you would wait to determine that he didn't. And with the ref's leg in the way we can't really see when Robb's feet left the cylinder.
I went back to look again at how this sequence started.
This is NOT a hand touch situation.
At the EIWA coaches meeting Friday night, our head official gave a great explanation of that rule. You must start in a position where you would otherwise be able to get a rear standing reversal. And the picture in the rule book first shows that position and then where the wrestler leans forward and touches a hand.
What happened here was that Robb locked in a slightly off center chest to chest position.
First, the ref (or is it the assistant?) moves such that his left leg blocks the view of the sideline so it's hard to tell exactly when the feet leave the cylinder.
Second, watch how Haines is physically reacting. He somehow kept most of his body off the mat through a lot of this. He's using his hands and feet to push up and often turning into Robb. The screenshot is clearly OB as Robb's feet are clear of the refs leg. If this had been in the center - control isn't clear until right around the screen shot (maybe a few frames earlier) but that would have to be pretty short time allowed for reaction given how Haines was turning in.
This will be my 48th. My longest streak started in '87 ended in '19. So only 33. Started overall in '71. Missed '73, '77, '86, '20 (But we all missed that year), and '21.
I didn't keep the tickets.
Have to wait this out a bit. Unfortunately when Hammond passed away several years ago a few of us agreed to keep up the Lehigh and EIWA portions actively and some of the NCAA brackets, but I see the hosting company (which changed) is migrating billing info so perhaps that's what's going on also.
