Why would I buy the shirt and whistle???? I know the criteria!!! Refs should know the same!!!! Coaching multiple kids is hard enough!! Getting screwed by more than 1 ref is rediculous!!
That is even more reason to put on the shirt and whistle. Nothing against you personally Spexy, but there are ALOT of coaches that think they know the criteria and have NO FRICKING CLUE. The coaching this year was just as BAD at SALINA, as the OFFICIATING, probably worse.
If you want to know what is making kids numbers drop so much from 6U to 14U, it is POOR COACHING. I don't know how many times I saw two 6 years olds locking up at the head and both coaches screaming "THROW IT". Teach the kids the basics. Teach them how to wrestle, so when they get older they still enjoy it. POOR COACHING is the biggest problem in Kansas Kids Wrestling, not the OFFICIALS. The Officials are alot easier to blame though.
By the way, the young official on Mat 13 was excellent.
