I don't know what happened in this match. We had our best wrestler DQ'd in a dual tournament a few years ago which cost us the finals. Our wrestler was up big and coasting when he put his oppoonent down pretty hard, but it looked legal from my point of view. The other wrestler looked like he had regrouped and looked ready to go when his coaches (all three) came onto the center of the mat and appeared to tell him to sit down and then talked with him more. Suddenly, he was looking like he was hurt. That sucked, but our wrestler could have beat him 100 times out of 100 and should have just finished the match. If a wrestler is dominating the match, they shouldn't take any chances and finish their business.
