Nope... He (FINK) did not tell me until the 130 pound match that McDonald was not going to wrestle. It didnt matter anyway, I was not going to bump regardless. I have a belief that you put your best 14 that you have that day out there and you tell them they can win. If you bump because you don't think you can win at a weight, what precedent does that set. You are telling at lease one kid you can't win????? I did that in a dual earlier this season and felt horrible afterwards and I don't know if I could do it again.

They could not beat us if they didnt bump though so it was a good move on their part. I said I was going to hold my line-up and I did. Did I get outcoached...maybe...but I slept good last night. In college wrestling, you rarely ever see a coach bump an athlete. They put 10 guys out there to wrestle. I want to have that mentality!

The stands were packed and it was another great night of wrestling. Both fans were into the match and all the athletes were having a great time. Even though I wish things would have been different...it was another amazing night that I was glad I was a part of!

P.S. And the ref never slapped the mat because his shoulders were not touching!!!! Chad Harris did a wonderful job last night and at this point, even though he needs to worry less about where I am standing (haha) is the best ref I have seen all year long.
