One8alpha Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Has it been debated/discussed to keep coaches off the mat corners during live wrestling like FS/GR? It seems this would be beneficial for all parties. It is difficult to keep composure will coaching. Some genetic battle instincts take over when coaching.

Dark Energy Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 For some of the broadcasts you could so clearly hear the loud bellyaching and whining from the coaches. More so than usual. Not a good ‘sound.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One8alpha Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Some coaches are also continuously yapping and impeding the trail ref every time they come into proximity of their corner. I believe having them in an area where they cannot intimidate or influence the officiating would be beneficial. It is much more noticeable in the B10 and B12 compared to the ACC or EIWAS. Way more bricks being tossed and yapping in the midwest sans PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing when he does, he's pretty confident that he saw something different than the refs. Brands on the other hand, appears to wish he had two, so he could be even more emphatic with his brick barrage. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gotta have one of the best percentages out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be other ways to remedy the mentioned problems (warning, then penalty, then ejection?). Taking coaches off the corner seems far too radical. And it would be bad for the spectators - one cool thing unique to wrestling is looking at the guys in the corners with Olympic medals and national championships. What's a better visual for the cameras to keep going back to -- the 159-0, gold medal guy with the sculpted physique, or Bill Belichik with his division 3 lacrosse varsity letter and his hoodie?

Warm Up Champ Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Maybe coaching harnesses? Each coach is required to wear one and they are attached to a solid object that is (fill in the blank) distance from the mat? After the match the coach unhooks their harness, holds the strap, and walks around the tournament with it on until their next wrestler is up. Repeat.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshuck Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 For years professional tennis coaches were not allowed to coach during a match. I think that may have loosened up recently though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Just like wrestlers, seems like wrestling's greatest coaches have had a good handle on their strengths and weaknesses. Some coaches (like Cael) can sit and control it. Others (like Barry) find it helpful to get a little space to work it out. No judgment at all. Both are obviously great wrestlers and coaches. As much as I appreciated his fire, I respected Barry's unusual approach. Not every coach needs to be mat side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
