I think it's funny that people are commenting on how the ref slaps the mat. As a wrestler, I have been on both sides of "the slap". It is fun to watch, and it does suck when it happens to you, but seriously. He's fun to watch and a good guy. The real discussion should be about the fact that one of the officials of the 3-2-1A state tournament had a son wrestling in the tournament in the 130 weight class. I would not have a problem with this if the ref was held out of officiating his son's weight class, but he did, and made a very controversial call in the semi-finals of that match, one that resulted in a coach's ejection.
