One rule change i would like to see is finshing takedowns on the edge of the circle. I have watched so many times the ref has to argue with coaches and even discuss with other refs if the knee or foot was in or out of the circle. I watch so many kids wrestle the edge of the circle. Would it not help out everyone involved and maybe take some relief off the refs if this rule was changed. most full mats have 3-4 feet of mat for safety concerns outside of the circle. I think this is the way college calls it. If we are preparing our kids for that next level dont we kind of need to be using the same rules or at least some of them.
