How many of us are national champions? Not one person commenting on this topic. Greco teaches you how to use your hips, but so does salsa dancing and although I do that in my spare time, most people do not. Greco teaches you to throw, which isn't what most people would encourage for high school wrestlers. Freestyle allows you to work on your hips, as well as many other techniques that are needed way more than what is tought in greco. Of course greco isn't trash, but it doesn't allow you to work on things that are kind of important, such as shooting takedowns. I would know because I did lead the state championship team of Manhattan in takedowns.
