WIWrestling Main Forum / Re: Update Coaching Contact Ru...
Last post by DocWrestling - April 29, 2024, 07:11:04 PMThe rule penalizes those coaches that want to put in extra time with the kids and protects those that do not want to coach out of season. Many coaches vote against unlimited contact because they don't want to look bad when compared with a neighboring community.
In reality though a team with a motivated teacher could work with kids all summer while maybe other non-teachers have to work all summer and cannot offer the same experiences. The coaching contact rules make it more of a level playing field but still the rule is broken over and over in all sports.
Besides protecting coaches it protects the kids. Coaches could put a lot of pressure on kids that they need to do all offseason workouts. Without the coach it is more obvious that practices are optional.
Unlimited coaching contact could lead to year round sport expectations for all. In reality that is almost kind of the case already in basketball, hockey, football, soccer, etc.

The over/under was probably 1.5!
Tobin came in 9-18 and won a consolation match in OT.
Ben Jordan (28-12)lost first round and came back for 7th to keep the AA streak going! Beat Mike Evans (#5) of Iowa first round of consolations 3-2. Beat Andrew Sorensen (#3) Iowa State 6-2 in the blood round!
Nice! What are those 2 doing now? Those were dark days for sure!

WIWrestling Main Forum / Update Coaching Contact Rules ...
Last post by New School - April 29, 2024, 04:07:53 PMThe WWCA and the WIAA should update coaching contact rules and eliminate restrictions on optional off-season coaching.
Why would we limit or restrict the ability of a coach that wants to make themselves available and put in time over the summer with their team? Clubs like Crass, AWA, Ringers and others are great for the sport but not every family has the resources to send their kids. Could someone help me understand the harm here especially if the workouts are optional?

Last post by Barou - April 29, 2024, 02:51:26 PMQuote from: Army Ant on April 29, 2024, 12:21:08 PMLooks like U15 & U17 WI kids didn't seem to do NEARLY as well. I saw that Wolbert took 2nd at U17 but a big dropoff after that to 6th placers, etc. and I didn't notice any big placers at U15 but maybe I missed something. More proof that the recent success of our graduating seniors at the national level was more of a temporary flux of talent than a long-term change.
The majority of success coming from Wisconsin can be attributed to AWA. Ben has been forthcoming that they actually recommend not participating in those tournaments at a younger age. I'd say that philosophy which also results in less WI participation has more to do with Wisconsin's success level than a "temporary flux of talent".

Last post by Ledger - April 29, 2024, 01:41:23 PMThe 3 point takedown has made a positive impact at the college level. Nothing scientific here, but I'm pretty sure there are less overtime matches and it seems like the meets move a little quicker. Good for the fans of course.

Last post by Numbers - April 29, 2024, 01:03:34 PMIt really just protects the takedown records from being broken.
