why do they not allow the kids to get the ankle band and take it to the corner by the coaches at the state tournament. they do it all season long at every tournament cause there are no full size mats. then you expect the kids to not do it at the state tournament and penalize the kids when they do it. then i see some refs do it and some that dont. either do it every time or not at all. i think its a stupid rule anyways but thats my opinion. but to watch a kid lose a match because of it was sad. i do want to say that the garden city coaches that were matside handled it well and apologized. The entire Garden City club is top notch. That rule really needs to be thrown out unless you enforce it the entire season which you cannot due to very few tournaments that even have 1 or 2 full mats.
