There is a consistancy problem with calling stalling in Kansas. Not a problem with stalling, a problem with calling it.

Like most things in this sport, stalling is a judgement call � in fact it might be the BIGGEST judgement call, simply because there is no hard, fast guidelines for it. On takedowns we have "supporting points" and for near falls we have "shoulder blades", "45 degree angles" and "five-counts." But we have none of that for stalling.

This is why the state needs to hit points of emphisis for officials for stalling. From what I have read, stalling calls were much more of an issue in both Wichita and Hays this weekend than they have been all season. That makes matters worse. If kids have been wrestiling a certain way all season and not getting called, then getting called at State, that's absolutely wrong.

We need to press the state to emphisize stalling and make it stick.
