Wow I have to get my 2 cents in on this subject. Over the years I have seen very poor officiating. At the Halstead tournament, their is an official that can't seem to stop a match until one wrestler is injured. He can't seem to project what is going to happen. I have seen more wrestlers carried off the mat under his call than the total of all the matches I watch. He should have retired years ago. Next, officials who know who the winner is going to be. We usually, as fans and coaches know within the first minute, which wrestler is the better one. So some officials just put in a half effort, kind of a just get this over with attitude. No calls, and guessing on back points vs counting and awarding them properly. This hurts wrestling as a sport and usually the young begining wrestlers.
At the Hoisington Regional this crew really had some problems. Boundry calls seem to be a free for all call, officials are different and officials call it different, match to match. Officials were lossing track of stalling calls and not awarding points, even sent one match into over time because of two stalls with no point awarded on the second. They weren't paying attention to the coin toss and often times the same coach was making the call in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Stalling was a real problem here to, 20 to 30 take down shots to 3 or 4 and no stall warning untill 17 seconds left in the match, some schools took advantage of this much more than others. One scoring tables struggled some times and for the most part coaches would point it out and the official would come over and fix it, but one official wouldn't talk to the coaches, he would just ask the table if it was correct, if they said yes he didn't even check.
