Mr. Cokeley I think your perception is invalid and a bit warped. I haven't seen or heard of any coaches on this forum or other forums that express your same concern. I am an avid fan and was at the Johnson County Classic and thought the officials did a very good job. Age, young or old, has no validity in how good an official is and should have no bearing on selection of officials for tournaments or post season. I know it has no bearing in college wrestling and other sports as the majority of officials are in their 40+ years in age. Keep in mind, just because a call may go against one of your kids or you get reprimanded for being to close to the mats, doesn't mean that official is bad. It just means that official is doing his job in enforcing the rules. My observation is that you look like one of those parents that like to complain to complain and that are living vicariously through your kids. Enjoy the sport. Be a fan, not a fanatic.
