Pyles inserting himself was unnecessary and he comes across as his usual self (i.e. not good) What real impact does the Flo ranking have on his team ?? Seems like someone needs some attention Edited December 7, 2023 by JimmyBT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only a handful of ranking services and after Intermat, Flo is the most commonly cited I tend to see. As others mentioned, coaches probably don't feel the need to delve into the nuances between Austin Murphy and Sal Perrine, its easy to defer to the public rankings.

Even the smallest staffs have 3-4 coaches. Good learning experience for one coach to be in charge of understanding those differences. Most on here do it with full time jobs.

We all do with full time jobs. But what is our lens? To be entertained and to predict the winners. The lens of a coach is - how do I prepare my wrestler for that guy. And so I feel it is less likely to view in an objective way because why would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then this coach either A.) Has the time to understand it and make the comments he did OR B.) He doesn’t have the time and probably shouldn’t make the comments he did. Which do you think it is???

Again, I thought the discourse between he and Kozak was completely above board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is probably a middle ground that made more sense in reality. Dropping 18 spots while remaining undefeated is odd. Dropping some other moderate amount can be explained away by the Ventresca/Brown response which is fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet he gives zero rebuttal to what he thinks should have happened instead nor why?????? I’ve been presented a situation like this many times. Always handled it one on one with the other individual.

Yup should also have #20 Babin of Columbia before EIWA’s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
