Stalling can be the worst call in wrestling...It is one of the few "judgement" calls a ref has in wrestling and I have seen them use and not use the call. That rule needs to be revised to make it more clear. If there is riding time, the bottom man better learn how to escape better and work off the bottom better. Coaches will then work even more on the bottom position which would take more time away from the top position. Also would help make the transition to college easier for wrestlers.
