I want to congratulate all three of our All Americans. It is a great achievement to place in the top 8 in the NCAAs, especially considering how few college programs there are today. With so few programs the best of the best are out there wrestling in college today. So great accomplishment to all three of you.

But my question to sportsfan02 on this post is why would as a State should Kansas be so content with 3 out of 80 All Americans and only 1 out of the top 50 that Kansas would stop looking for ways to improve Kansas wrestling by comparing its methods to other successful States? I am not saying that is a bad performance but I do not think this means that Kansas can be complacent either. I think any successful business constantly looks into its operation and one way it does that is by studying the successful things its competitors does. Kansas would be remiss not to study and possibly adopt certain things from other successful wrestling States.

Why would anyone consider Kansas wrestling community leaders like Sean McCarthy and Klint Deere as whining when they suggest that we adopt certain things that are done in other States? Are they whining? I do not think so. I choose to view it that they are trying to honestly make suggestions to help improve Kansas wrestling from things that they have seen work successfully in other states. Successful businesses and organizations are willing to study their competitors and they are willing to change if they determine that they can become even more successful by changing. Many organizations have suggestion boxes and I bet that is part of the purpose of this forum too.
