Has anyone noticed they are not visually appealing? No nice stenography…. Cheap looking computer print outs. Seems like they should be nicer. The ihsa state brackets look way cooler. Example poc from the bull in a prior year.
Thanks. Didn’t realize my link did not work. He literally just sits in that position for almost 40 seconds. Gets a stalemate. Then stalls the rest of the period. The next few matches aren’t very entertaining either.
Mizzu #7 hart vs oksu #22 young @ 141 lbs.
Video below. Oksu rides him from 1:47 to 1:10. 37 seconds. Now keep in mind oksu just got a 5 second stalling call for dropping to the leg in the immediate prior sequence. Imo. It’s the over “legislation” of stalling that is ruining stalling. We all know what stalling looks like. We just don’t call it. Legislating “counts” for this position vs that position I feel is hurting refs ability to call things.
also keep in mind. Oksu went on to stall the remainder of the 1:10 left and somehow didn’t get called again for a total 2 minutes of nothing. Had he got hit for stalling a second time it would likely have been OT.
*** I don’t have a beef with the oksu kid. Just how the legislation of stalling and refs allowing this behavior.

This will be much worse at conference and ncaa tourneys as well. Still watching the dual while typing this. 149 is a stall fest too.
The reason independent ranking services can do what they want is in a set of recently leaked classified documents. Unfortunately we will never know the reason outlined in those documents.
them’s the breaks.
