Doug starving kids the second day of the State tourney doesn't really teach them too much. If both kids have an opportunity to eat lunch in a grueling day of wrestling and get to wrestle the semi finals with some fuel in the machine, I really don't think we are failing them that much. I am not really understanding that whole "life lesson" deal, I am talking about physiology here and the health of the wrestler. I am not talking about any other tourney, I am talking about the end of the season tourney whether it be the state or the NCAA tourney. That same day weigh in when you aren't going to make that weight again in your life is ridiculous. How much heavier do you think some of them are 20 hours later when they wrestle in the finals? We do that last weigh in because it is a ritual. There is no real reason for it.
