A few years back Greg Strobel(Lehigh Head Coach) wrote a column about the pussification of High School Wrestling. It really caused a disturbance with the NFHS. He is right though, this is not tennis, it is a contact sport. Way too many potenitally dangerous and illegal moves restrict our sport.
Same way with these snow days. Everyone is afraid of lawsuits and insurance claims. If school A cancels and School B 10 miles away does not, and there is an injury on the roads of a School B student traveling to/from school. Watchout! Ambulance Chasers love this scenario!!
