Agreed. But neither does anyone think that dribbling at half court will ever win a game that is tied or one you are losing either. No one thinks taking bad and stupid shots is a winning strategy in either sport. Endless tie ups without making a serious attempt "to take it to the rim" is losing basketball and at best low AA wrestling but never championship wrestling. Maybe the "shoot more" statement is not exacting enough. Maybe it should read "If only he'd work hard enough to set up properly and take more good shots . . . ". I submit that the "work hard enough . . . " portion of the sentiment is sufficiently implied when one is exclaiming in an exasperated manner after another 1 point loss which ends up with both wrestlers leaning on each other in a tie up.

A universal truth in wrestling!! If you are not pinned yet your chances are better than if you have been pinned. Your chances go down dramatically once you have been pinned.

Good for him. Accepting anything other than a medically driven exemption is a violation of one's principles. Accepting an exemption grants the argument that the underlying policy is valid. NU (and most of academia) showed itself to be a tyrannical human rights abusing institution subjecting students and staff to medical experimentation. Howe could not be associated with such a place. Applause.
