I am currently in my 12th year as a coach in USAW and this has been a problem since the first time I attended a novice tourney. The 2 year rule seems to make sense, however I have coached 1st and 2nd year kids that have become state placers. I also had the pleasure of coaching a young man who in 7 years of wrestling won a grand total of 3 matches, now explain the 2 year rule and how it makes sense for that young man. A few years ago we ran into situations in back to back years at the same novice tourney, in which very skilled wrestlers demolished and even injured a couple of "green kids". This resulted in at least two young men not wanting to continue wrestling. At the time I proposed only allowing certain takedowns, pinning combinations, and "moves" off of the bottom. The officials would treat all others as penalty points, and follow the 1-1-2-out criteria.
