Another point to be made: While I agree that non-coach adults should not be matside, I think one of the neatest things about our sport is seeing 4 or 5 of a kid's teammates sitting matside warming him up beforehand, cheering for him and high-fiving him when it's over (win or lose). This is particularly important to first or second year wrestlers. My boy has been at it for 5 years, and the only thing he can do at a tournament to make me mad is not be attentive when a teammate is "up". If it really is about the kids, lets somehow not overlook that comraderie. It's one of the great qualities the kids learn through wrestling.
