What a shame. That's really too bad.

Even for an old codger... as a wrestler and coach, I recall vividly that wrestling is about much more than the competition on the mat. It's about teaching (coaches) and learning (wrestlers) life's lessons.

No matter how supporter's of this rule color it, the bottomline is they expose their immaturity and wrestling would do well to be rid of them. IMHO, a coach who would even consider such a rule say to me that, for him coaching is about his ego more than it's about the wrestlers, and that stinks.

Shame on them.
