Well, Pat. . .it is true many school administrators do not understand or appreciate wrestling; certainly does not mean all are that way; all is needed is one who agrees with you who could run with the proposal for rules change.

But there is more than one avenue to pursue a change; another is from the KWCA. . .there is at least one HS coach on this forum who agrees with you and has some pull in the KWCA; he could certainly champion your cause.

The fact of the matter is most coaches that I talk with understand there are warts with the system but prefer it over the alternative. Too, the rule changes regarding weight loss (whether the NF descent plan or the Kansas plan) are geared to eliminating pulling large amounts of weight. More kids than ever before are wrestling closer to their "walking around weight."

The argument I see on here is that morning weigh-ins encourage extreme weight loss. It can be argued that onsite weigh-ins do the same.
