When Ben Askren was trying to break the record for most take downs in Wisconsin the officials created their own unsportsmanlike interpretation to prevent Ben from taking down and releasing wrestlers. In fact, I saw this called in Cedar Falls two years ago by an official. After the match I asked him if he was from Wisconsin and he was. We then chatted about it and looked at the rule book. He had been taught by WI officials to call it that way even though the rule book did not state this.
