Tell him straight up. if he reacts violently, then he has the problem... not you. you shouldn't worry about him, except maybe feel sorry for him if he cant understand he doesn't control what your son does.

I would challenge the dad to a wrestle off.  Done.



Thank you I spit coffee all over the table.....that was awesome and very funny.

Thank you, Ramjet.  I usually have more self control, as I am often tempted to throw some jackwagonry into serious forum discussions.

I wrote and deleted other suggestions, like using mime, or breaking into song with your point of view, because we know for sure that works on TV.

That kind of foolishness makes me sound unsympathetic, which I'm not.




I laughed also,,,,,,,the mental pictures I have are priceless and I have VISA for the rest ;D ;)

I don't know of any wrestler ever who could have hung with Alex Karolyn when he wrestled. Possibly the best wrestler in history was a hwt.
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

Northwoods...interesting comment...how does it pertain to the question posed? Maybe you wanted to start a new thread called "Tough weight classes"?

We are dealing with similar situation oneshot has this year. We simply talked to the parent and explained cutting before conference was not an option and our kid (the wrestler) would keep the coach in the loop on his plans to drop or not drop to the lower weight class. That it was a discussion for the coach and the wrestler and if the coach wanted our involvement we let him know to feel free to talk to us anytime.

Not sure if that ended it but it has been quiet for a couple weeks. I have noticed that the other dad is talking to the coach much more...sorry coach

Sounds like you handled it well, Bulldog.  Hopefully, it all works out well for the rest of the season.

Thanks imnofish...I don't know if it was handled well but I hope it took the situation out of 2 parents hands and put it where it should be...in the wrestling room between the coach and the athletes. I figure the coach will either tell the other wrestler to challenge for a wrestle off or he will just have to wait and see what happens. My kid has been up front with the coach and has told them when he is thinking of dropping and said it is about 80% that he will drop at all.

Hopefully there is no animosity from the other wrestler but I don't think there is. I got a feeling in this situation it was more a parent thing then an athlete thing...

I think a lot of the differences between fans and between parents could be settled by adult wrestle offs, and/or duel by sword.  Just something to consider.

I have one question.

Why doesn't the coach have any say in this? Who is running the Team/Program? Very interesting!

Exactly!!!  You gotta give the parents time to make weight though.   Because that's fair.

I don't think it was indicated that the coach didn't have a say. The way I read it is that the parent has been bugging the other kid and his parents about dropping a weight class. I am guessing that the coach may have not even been aware of what this parent is doing. I don't think this is any type of reflection on the coach, team or program.

I have seen for years parents talking to each other before season to "get a feel" where kids on the team may be going. I don't think I have ever had a coach involved in these "on the side" conversations.
