This started with a well written and thought out post on how to improve. Even though some are trying to keep it on track, some are trying to degenerated it into another version of ‘The Housewives of Kansas’ with everyone watching hoping to see some cleavage or someone say something bad about another one of our fellow wrestling people. This is too bad. It needs to stay on its original purpose. Insteading of addressing the comments in particular, I would just say this. As a parent who has probably sat and watched as many or more practices over the last 2 years as any other parent and as someone who was on the floor as a volunteer at Fargo this year, I believe the criticism of the coaches is uncalled for. I think we have a very good group. I understand there might be bigger names, but that does not necessary make them better. I was really impressed with Tom Peterman (who was assigned to my son) during Fargo. I had never seen him coach mat side before and was impressed. So, stay in their Tom. In fact, my son really likes this group of coaches. He feels comfortable with them and believes they help him. You have to wonder why anyone would want to step up if they are going to undergo this after giving alot of their own time to coach our kids.

Is there room for improvement, yes, but Coach Church stated that in his #5 on this original post. Getting out of the dorms might be a good suggestion. I understand many kids, who were not use to the heat, got very little sleep. However, was this an unusual year???

Finally, leave the gear alone. My kid loves it and so do most of the kids that go. They are proud that Kansas has some of the best around. In my opinion, they have earned it from a long, hard season.

PS: Please let Doug know the 'Housewives of Kansas' is not a show about novice moms.
