Okay, there has been a lot of talk about wrestlers being in the Novice category that maybe shouldn't be there...but what about when a novice wrestler wrestles in an open tournament? We had a situation this weekend wherein a clearly novice wrestler was in my son's round robin. My son could have pinned the novice in very little time. In order to allow both to have more mat time, my son worked on some of his moves instead of pinning the other wrestler immediately. The other coach got mad and stopped the match before time had expired or a Technical Pin resulted.

What's everyones thought here? We had expected the novice wrestler and his coach would be appreciative that we didn't pin him immediately..but maybe that's what we should have done.
