I didn't belittle or berate. Just pointing out the time involved getting down to the mat.
You are right- I hope refs see this and try to get to the mat faster.
Ironically, I have coached multiple sports for decades and we use video to instruct and perfect practice.
Rather than just think you do a good job as a ref- how many study themselves? I asked for a critique of positioning...how many refs take 5 seconds to get to the mat?
Most people are reviewed constantly- refs are probably an anomaly. They have final say- and those that disagree are chased from the gym? (What he did later.)
I suppose this video could be emailed to all the officials on the website and urge them to get to the mat faster...
Let's be the change we wish to see in the world.
You seem to have an answer for everything. You throw out some good suggestions, but don't really show a game plan. talk is cheap, and YOU'VE already pointed out that it took 5 seconds to get to the mat. So show us what you plan to do in the future, to better KS wrestling. I you don't all you have done is belittle this official. Whether you can admit it or not, YOU'VE never had a mistake free practice, I don't care how many times you film it. Prove that you can grow this sport, prove that you can implement a grading system. Please don't just re-write my challenges.
Put up or shut up, become an official, prove that you are better. Make the grade, help KS officials be better. We need it for this sport to continue to grow.
