We are not asking you to work hard and try to be the best, we are only asking that if a kid needs or wants to go to a bigtime tourney out of state, why not let him?
You really are an idiot, I'm sorry. You won't be refereeing the Salina, Classic, or KS State tourney will you?
And just to clarify, everyone that is trying to get it thru your thick skull that we need to allow the good kids to push themselves, has kids that don't need to travel on their team. Our kids club has everyone from the kids that still think it is funny to lay on their back and get stuck, to middle of the road kids that, with the drive that they seem to have, will one day be pretty darn good, to the national placer type of kids that like to travel to get a bunch of tough matches in, rather than stay close and get possibly one good match in, in the finals, maybe, if they are lucky. Just so you don't paint us as "only fighting for the elite", I am posting this.
Where do you coach at by the way? I want to know your qualifications for making a judgement on what our elite kids need or don't need. I'm not calling myself Dan Gable, but I talk to enough people that know what they are talking about, and I have been around enough to know a little.
Since when does a kid NEED to travel to travel to a big time tournament? Please explain this comment...
I did not ask about your kids club, and frankly I don't care. We are talking about high school.
I do not coach, I have the opportunity to do so but my job does not allow me to do so. My qualifications? I don't have any. I was never any good, never won very many matches, I'm a horrible official, and last but least I'm always out to ruin someone's day, get real.
What are your qualifications? I wrestled in high school fairly successful, wrestled in college unsuccessfully, and now have officiated for 4 years. I have seen the good, bad, and experienced most in between. I know many multiple state champions, national champions, and elite level coaches who would agree that KS has all the compeition you need, they never traveled to the "elite" tournaments you so desire.
I'm glad you talk to a bunch of "elite" people that since I don't fit your "clique" I don't associate with. Exactly you know a little, it's been how long since you've been on the mat? I was on the mat not very long ago, I was learning on the inside not looking from the outside.
As I said in the other thread I am done with your & Will's rants about how bad the KSHSAA is and how much it is needed you must travel to get better. I hope you can open your eyes and realize just because Kansas doesn't allow you to travel like Blair Academy that we are not the end of the road for wrestling talent.
