The theory on HR was after he got decked by Tyler Dow he got benched. To say there was disagreement on this point would be to put it mildly. Given that he has not wrestled in the three weeks since, it has to be injury. "Making a point" for this long would be counter-productive. They will not be running a 165 lber out to wrestle B1Gs and thereby essentially forfeiting the weight, so they need Assad ready. If he is healthy he is getting ready by wrestling. So he must be injured. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer I was looking for was that there is zero reason for Brands to bench him for 3 competitions for getting pinned. The OP's question had a certain "breakfast" quality to it.

I always find it entertaining that in a sport where every single athlete gets injured at some point in their career, people do not want to attribute missed matches to injury. Entertaining and dumb. 2 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different sport but I know a kid who was going to be a varsity starter Fr year of HS but parents and coach put him back in ~week after a concussion because they had a big club tournament. Concussion again, never played in high school. It's serious stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The host school's trainer declared him fit to go. We ended up losing the match and immediately the trainer came over to look at him a 2nd time and said he had a concussion and had to withdraw from the rest of the tournament. He had no good reason for why he didn't have one 5 minutes earlier and was allowed to continue, but couldn't continue then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Assad entering the B1G seeding conversation with a 4-1 B1G record instead of a 4-4, having just skipped Brooks, Salazar, and Finesilver.

I lost conference this year because a Coach literally told the kid what to say to the Trainer so the trainer would make the “determination” that he was unable to continue. The coach admitted later at Regionals.. I still think the rules should be the way they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
