I thought "Johnny Rule Book" would have posted these by now, so here you go:

Rule 3-1-2:
"On matters of judgement, the referee shall have full control of the match and the decisions shall be final, based on the NFHS wrestling rules and interpretations."

Rule 3-1-3:
"The jurisdiction time of the referee will begin upon arrival at the site and will conclude with the approval of the scorebook in dual meets and when the referee signs the bout sheet after the last match of a tournament."

Rule 4-2-3:
"If a participant is suspected by the referee or coach of having a communicable skin disease or any other condition that makes particiapation appear inadvisable, the coach shall provide current written documentation from a physician stating that the athlete's participation would not be harmful to any opponent. This document shall be furnished at the weigh-in or prior to competition in the dual meet or tournament. Covering a communicable condition shall not bee considered acceptable and does not make the wrestler eligable to participate."

In short:
Coaches know that the referee has more power granted to them by the NFHS rule book and KSHSAA. Officials know they have a huge burden placed on them to try and assess each and every situation and rule in the spirit of the rule(s).

If there is something that needs to be changed, the correct way to do it is by having the coach's AD contact KSHSAA, have the coach take it to the KWCA for them to approach the KSHSAA Board or contact KSHSAA yourself. But what's the use of coming on here and keep going on about how this isn't right and that is wrong?? All you're doing is making it look like you're trying bash the ref and his call, without really doing it.

The ref made the best call he could. If he did wrong - take it through the chain of command: Scheduler of officials for GWAL tourney, ADs, Bill Faflick, etc.

Let it go already!!!
