Excellent solution COACH! Now Cokeley and others, make it happen - PLEASE!!!
This weekend I saw a very exhausted wrestler take his full five minutes, then he got up and secured the winning TD for an OT victory.
I was amazed as this kid and his coaching staff just sat on the mat, watching the injury clock run down . . . and then the kid magically pops up, fully recharged with less than ten seconds left on his 'injury time'.
It reminded me of a boxer watching the ref count the ten seconds for the KO . . . the downed boxer pops up around the 8 or 9 count . . . great strategy in boxing where one only has ten seconds or they are DONE.
Sitting on one's as# . . . for four minutes plus . . . totally different. Fair? Yes, due to the rule. Ethical, I'll let 'you' decide.
Let us hope that the rule is changed - thank you Coach Coleman for providing a solution to this annoying problem that plagues our beloved sport.
