My (stated as completely unrealistic btw) is to have separate "seasons" for freestyle and Greco. to improve our greco. im well aware its unrealistic. I've been in the planning meetings for one of the better states freestyle/greco season (tournaments, state, last chance, etc)

I stand corrected.. but also, all of yall derailed the thread. as far as turner. Given where I coach, im gonna get to hear about this all year. Yay

Don't think you're allowed to mention that from what I've been seeing.

lol . Im not there yet

Fatherhood and being considered the "older" male authority figure at work has calmed me down.

Entire hs fb and wrestling teams in an area have tire fire smoke going up of rumors the last few years. Testing isn't done till senior level good to see you back btw. Forum was boring

On a side note, is the forum banning discussion of the recent event at Worlds?

Eh, More so just a (unrealistic) incentive to improve our Greco that's not a gigantic change.

Need to make it a separate season from freestyle. Even if it's only for 1-2 months. Forcing coaches to JUST focus on Greco would vastly help and teach our refs to get better too

An underrated reason Our domestic wrestlers won't get better at Greco is we're so terrible at Greco, our refs who can't go overseas.. can't learn how to ref it properly.. because Greco state and Fargo is all "freco" not Greco. So then our athletes get their bad habits reinforced. Definitely chicken and egg type of issue. There needs to be a separate Greco season from freestyle in the US

Based on who most of the recruits are. I think it'll depend on if Medlin stays. I'm sure at sectionals someone will be spilling the real story next week

Heads up to everyone, comments on here and social media about this and him are being subpoenaed for the lawsuit.

The attack style wrestling podcast if it's still up has great stuff. Especially after the 3rd episode. The first 3 are more ra ra and the ones after actually get into the nitty gritty

While I think your point about "psycho" behavior being subjective is valid. The point about bad behavior and straight up morally reprehensible behaviors being ignored because they're a "good" coach or wrestler shouldn't be ignored. but your point about appearances is valid. The longer I've been around the more I've noticed a trend of, irascible "mean" coaches running much more clean programs and actually cutting or disciplining bad behavior. The more preachier, "virtuous" I see a coach/program being, the more I find out about them doing the opposite. Not alway, but a trend

Wherever this discussion goes. Can we at least agree that brushing it off with generalities about "power" and other people isn't going to help?
