To Coach Gibson:

You state "Your comment is way off base. To equate an error in judgement on a weigh in as a basis of never allowing a kid into an individual's tournament based on that error is ridiculous.

This was not an error in judgment! This was rule breaking! I can not trust this individual to ever monitor a weigh in again, and I submit many parents in your district will agree!

I owe no one an apology, and to the contrary, those involved in the error owe all participants in the tournament an apology. This wrong will never be corrected and the damage is done.

The wrestler did not make weight and the Tournament Director allowed him to wrestle.

If this was the KSHSAA Regional, would you expect the overweight wrestler to be allowed to compete?

This was a blatant violation of USAWA Kansas Kids Rules.

Perhaps you should read rules before commenting!

Please, do not attempt to lecture me on volunteerism, as I have certainly done my fair share, and can be attested to by many in my District.

I will stand by my statement, and strongly suggest the offending parties do the right thing and resign their positions, as their credibility is forever tainted!

We need volunteers who conduct themselves as professionals, and not allow this sort of nonsense! This incident has forever stained our sport, and can not be dismissed or swept under the rug!

If I sound defensive, I will not apologize as I am shocked with your cavalier attitude toward this huge injustice!

The poor decision making by District I officials calls into question the integrity of the weigh in procedure. It did happen once, perhaps there are others we do know about!

Ask all who know me, (Mr. Juby, Mr. Disney, Mr. Grater)and they will attest to the fact I will show up for a personal discussion if you so desire! They will also attest to the fact I rarely speak unless I know what I am talking about.

This was not a personal attack, I was stating a fact!

Get a grip on reality!
