Gutsy?
Sticking to his guns??? You only have guns in street fights and war. They are supposed to be on the same side. The coach is supposed to be an adult. Wrestlers are still adolescents. Wrestling is for the kids not coaches. There is only one reason for a coach to take such a hard line, that would be to look out for a 130 pound kid who had paid his dues. Apparently that isn't the situation here, with them both certified at 125. Wouldn't it be nice if the coach was concerned for the kid rather than wanting to be a hard nose?
Coaches have to work WITH kids, FOR kids.
