“Read The Room”

Meaning, if you have two state qualifiers, or even 2 State Place winners, try to stay out of the match as much as possible and let them decide the match …

If you have two novice wrestlers, especially in a dual meet, be careful with your early stalling calls

“Earned Equity”

Be careful, just counting offensive shots only

If an opponent counters, the original shot, with a go behind, or a shot, especially if they score a takedown on a counter, that should notify the original shot, when counting shots

“Making The Tough Call”

You can’t be concerned about what the fans want to see, especially if there is a violation, that causes a match to end early in overtime

If you back off themat, early in sudden victory, and the wrestlers were warned for stalling, the match should be over

Your obligation to the athletes and the coaches are more important than your obligation to what the fans want to see
