The KC area schools are trying to kill the sport by hiring coaches who don't recruit talent out of the halls! If you can't fill your varsity roster they shouldn't pay you to coach! How hard can it be at a 5A and 6A school? There were weight classes this past weekend that had kids qualify for state that didn't even win a match! Not the wrestler's fault but the coaches who come from the left side of the curve. The ones who fight progress and don't care. The ones who just collect their check and tell the good coaches that they can't coach outside of the wrestling season. I know, FACT, that one hs in WY county has a state qualifier and he had the team roll up the mats and told the kid to find a place to practice for state! THAT COACH is trying to kill our sport. We WILL NOT get more exposure for our kids by watering down the state qualifying process. In the minds of most college coaches are present system in Kansas is already a joke. We need unity and coaches that care!
