My experiences in the past and understanding based on that and discussions with Bowden are that you can coach NO wrestling, folkstyle, freestyle or greco, to "your" athletes during the school year except during the wrestling season. Freestyle and greco-roman are not considered to be different in Kansas. You may coach your athletes in the summer in any style. You may coach your seniors after their final season immediately in any style, you do not have to wait until summer. That is why coaches could be involved in the Senior National, coaching their seniors. You could not however coach your underclassman out of season until summer. In Oklahoma, freestyle and greco-roman are considered to be different from folkstyle. As a result, their coaches can coach their athletes any time of the year in freestyle and greco-roman, just not in folkstyle which they can only coach during the wrestling season and the summer. This might explain part of the reason as to why Oklahoma has a stronger freestyle program and almost always places higher in the National Duals and the National Tournament in Fargo. This could also affect the development of wrestlers in general in Kansas as opposed to Oklahoma because fundamentally, folkstyle and freestyle are not much different. When I first started coaching in Oklahoma, freestyle and greco-roman were not considered different and you could not coach "your" athletes out of season in freestyle and greco until summer. Around 1993, the OWCA convinced the OSHSAA that freestyle and greco were vastly different from folkstyle, much like say karate, judo or tai kwan do are different and they found a "loophole" in the system. This is what the KWCA needs to do with the KSHSAA.
