The one thing I would like most... For Sportsfan02 to crawl back under his rock and never come out again. To my knowledge he has never supported anything, researched anything, put any money out of his pocket into wrestling, etc. I would LOVE to hook up one on one with Sportsfan more than changing any rule that KSHSAA has in place.

Maybe,

It is hard for me to pinpoint one rule. My oldest son has three years left and I would like several to change for his benefit.

Colorado and Oklahoma have year round coach contact. Excardinal is correct. Lazy coaches are using this rule to protect their lack of interest. Make the rule state that coaches cannot MANDATE practice during the offseason. Simple as that. This rule is STUPID.

At least allow ONE trip outside of the 500 mile limit. Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas, California, Florida, all permit travel beyond Kansas' limit.



Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana, etc. all have a single site hosting all of their HS state tournaments. College coaches WILL NOT scout our state tournaments because they are, in general, weak and splintered.

The KSHSAA voted down Grand State after two years. The Private effort know as the Sunflower Classic died after two years because kids didn't want to participate. Practice, coaching, weight, etc. played into that.

In Texas there are no match limits and kids can compete in tournaments anywhere, anytime. Indiana allows 60 to 70 matches per year.

Unlike Sportsfan I am not living on welfare or social security so I have to work to make a living and give back to the wrestling community. Sport0, put up or shut up. You are a disgrace to the forum.
