Let me shed a little light on the subject since I was the one coaching ross in his match against rhodes. First let me start off by saying that I sat next to Thomas at the east/west classic thursday night and had a good conversation with him. He is a great kid for the most part and if he can keep his attitude in check he can be very successful. But wrestling is 90% mental and becuase this reason my advice to ross before he even went out on the mat was that all he had to do is keep his head in check and T-Bone would eventualy lose his cool which is what he did. Now realise that the same offical who refed Taplin/Rhodes match was the same offical who refed the Johnson/Rhodes match. In the Johnson/Rhodes match, Thomas got upset over a call and mouthed off, then he keep stepping over Johnson when they would go out of bounds promting the unsportsmanlike conduct call. So THomas had already got on the officals bad side. Then when Taplin/Rhodes came up I thought for the most part it was a clean match which I am glad becuase there isn't any bad blood between the two. But the problem was that Rhodes coaches not only the two in his corner but the 5 or 6 more standing off the mat where questioning ever single call the offical made and coming on the mat. And quite frankly where being very rude to to the official. With 6 seconds left in the match the offical dinged Rhodes with stalling, which from what I could see neither wrestler was stalling but that didn't matter. He stopped that match and at that point one of the coached said something really stupid to the ref as THomas was going back into referees position. Then apparently THomas looked up at the ref and said F*** You. This then prompted the ref to call flagrent misconduct and kicked him out of the tournament. Now I somewhat agree with what Choach Knox later said when he mention that you shouldn't be ejected for profanity it should just be unsportsmanlike. However to say something like that to a ref, plus everything else he had done throughout the tournament just added up and finally he had enough. As far as people booing and cheering, its part of the game, poeple always have favorites, they do the same thing to Mike Tyson. I think TOHK is a great team and Coach Knox is a good guy but some of their other coaches really need to start asking themselves if they are hurting their athletes or helping them by arguing with the ref all the time.
