I know officials make mistakes but the problem is none of them will admit to it. They circle their wagons and quote the rule book just like Koranda (btw, I have a few clips of you too! ). This would not have been whistled in Tulsa or any other out of state tournament I have attended so are we that much more soft in Kansas?? I know that many of you dissenters are doing so not because you really think it was a slam, you just like to disagree with me. I have grown weary of the good ole boy official system. It is time to call it like it is and the forum is a great place for the unidentifiable to put in their two cents for bad officials since KSHSAA won't evaluate them.

Ryne has performed the step through turk on many occasions and this was the first ever called a slam. If you think there was unnecessary force then you really are pussifying the sport. It is a contact/combat sport and there will be injuries from time to time. We want to train the wrestlers to repitiously perfect moves and high level of precision and force but now we are supposed to say (well, if the guy isn't very good you better limit your moves and pin him quickly with a "safe" move. Jeeze, lets just put flags on them and see who can yank them off the most during the six minutes! "Humane" and "Pet peeve" is this the PETA forum or I mean PETW forum or what? It was NOT a slam and should NOT have whistled. The wrestler was barely lifted from the mat and he was taken in control with force back to the mat but not unnecessary force. If you step on the varsity mat, strap it on and be ready. Injuries happen in perfectly legally executed moves just like they do on the football field. Next thing you know you fellow pussifiers will be asking them to ban the crash play at home plate or the breaking up of a double play.
