Excellent question Jeff. Set aside all the other comments about the value of staying till the end and why individuals could not and someone please tell me; how a coach is going to explain to their wrestler that has worked their rear off to get there why they had to forfeit their match because their coach couldn't be present? This is a scenario I hope never happens but given the recent decision I can not see how it will be avoided! Who are we in it for? Who is being punished here? Someone please answer!
I also disagree with the outcome of the vote, but to be clear, your scenario would never happen. There are so many coaches on the floor that almost any of them would gladly coach the wrestler. He would be disadvantaged by not having the coach that knows him, but forfeiting is out of the question.
