All but the ref on mat 8 at state!!!! I don't know who he was but he was the main ref for that mat and was HORRIBLE.. If a coach had a complaint or asked for clarification on a call he treated you as if you were an idiot...You know he's bad if another ref watching your match tells you, "you got screwed"...Question, why at a level of state can't there be 2 refs watching each match this would cut down on all the controversial calls, would it not?? If you see locked hands from your angle and the ref does not who is to say a 2nd ref couldn't catch it,just for an example..Kids work too hard to make state to lose on a minor technicallity....
I wasn't going to call him out but since you did I will join in, we sat at mat 8 all weekend and noticed several time he was slow getting to the mat checking for pins. He also seemed to wander around watching other things other than the match he was working. I seen him miss LH (which isn't that hard to miss) and several quick reversals. Almost like he forgot who started where and when he looked back after he missed the actual reversal seen no change and awarded no points. This actually happened to my son. He did change it because we were awarded NF points and it is hard to get NF points without a reversal. He didn't seem too grouchy once confronted, but did want to conferr with the table worker on the starting position of the period before he would listen to our coaches. I completely understand him wanting to do that.
If we wouldn't have gotten NF points I have a feeling our coaches would had a hard time pleading their case with him.
