#1. A number times this year at Novice tourneys I have questioned the call made. Keep in mind, most officials do a great job. After I question a call, the statements I have heard are: "It doesn't matter, it is only Novice", "This isn't the Olympics". These are the same officials that count back points from their feet. Guys it is ok to be wrong. I have been wrong in a match and acknowledged the official after thinking it through. Keep an open mind and learn from your mistakes. On this matter, all I ask is please TRY. Give the kids same effort they are giving. Your acts can change a kids career.

#2. Stalling- more in regards to Open Tourneys. Stalling is rarely called. If someone is consistantly backing up and never attempting a shot, stalling should be called. I am used to a in your face type of wrestling and we teach it to our kids. Our kids are always shooting, but get penalized for it. I have seen it in other teams matches as well. Wrestling should be taught with constant movement with attacking. Officiating should help promote more action, not support blocking.
