I agree with Mr. Johnson. It seems like the state tournament committee gets their jollys by making people beg for an extra pass. Now they want to charge them $75-$100 for one, This is crazy. I would like some questions answered.
1. How much money does the state tournament make in a typical year?
2.How much would it cost to provide a nice hospitality room for the coaches?
3.Why would you limit the number of coaches passes, no other major tournament that I can think of does this.
4.Who appoints the state tournament committee, is this a lifetime appointment because it never changes.
5. How can you justify charging anyone one cent more to attend or coach at the state tournament the expo center already digs in our pockets deep, the hotels in Topeka all raise their rates and require a two night stay, and now our own state body wants to take money out of the coaches pockets also.
After coaches volunteer all of their time to practice give up every weekend for months the state body should give every qualified coach that wants one a floor pass.
As for the deletions, it doesn't matter what you say as long as it's not said about the wrong people. The person I called out is one of the untouchables in Kansas wrestling. I said nothing wrong, In fact i recieved 12 messages from people that agreed with what I said, I would have recieved more but Mr.Furches acted like it was a race to delete my posts. It seems like our state body wants to exclude people from participation when they should be happy that we have the number of coaches willing to give up their time to make this sport grow.
