I have, on several occaisions, talked with and exchanged email with Gary Musselman and Rick Bowden. I have asked questions about all of the restrictions I am opposed to and each time I ultimately get the party line "The member schools have voted in favor of these rules." Given that I am curious how others feel. Coach Travius feels it is a waste of time to fight the KSHSAA but I guess I have a problem with an organization that is supported by my tax dollars not delivering to its members what they really want. I have always felt that change could and should be started right here at the grass roots level. How many of you would like to see a Kansas team compete in the Ironman Classic or some other distant, top notch tournament? How many of you would like to take your freshman or sophomore son to Roller's CK Kickoff in the fall? How many of you would support middle school wrestling if wrestlers could compete in tournaments outside of their school's schedule? How many would like to see our kids be able to wrestle 60 or 70 matches in a season? (On this topic I was specifically told by Rick Bowden that too many matches are hard on the kids' joints, I guess Kansas kids have weaker joints than the kids down in Texas!) How many kids would like to have their HS coach in their corner during the NHSCA and USA Wrestling events? How many of you coaches would offer sessions year round? How many of you coaches would offer your time to the kids program and hit a few Sunday novice events? This is just a few suggestions. I would love to see others and some momentum generated to change the KSHSAA's rules.
