To the coach who did not want to have a conversation about what the meaning of a novice wrestler is. Here is the meaning: From the flyer posted on this website:
Rules: KSHSAA as modified by USAWA Kansas Kids rules. Definition of a novice wrestler is
a first or second year wrestler who has not placed in more than 4 open tournaments, has not won
an open tournament, and has not won more than four novice tournaments.
Then you lie and say he was only a second year wrestler. That's funny since he placed 4th @ Burlington in 2/09, 2nd @ Jr Vikes in 2/09, 2nd @ T-bird in 2/09, 2nd @ Silver Lake 2/10. Plus on top of that his ability on the mat was superior to anyone today at any age and weight that I watched. By the way my child suffered a broken wrist and will be out for the season from this match. For all that are reading this it was at Santa Fe Trail and a Trailhand wrestler.

That is a shame that the coach wouldn't address the issue with you immediately. I hope someone reading this has some insight on how we can prevent this from their future tournaments as well as many others. Ideas?
