buckshot Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Instead of a bow and arrow guys should just very nicely ask guys to go to their back. If they refuse they should ask again but even nicer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bow and arrow is a turning move and is not illegal. Therefore, they are not comparable turning moves. Why is a full nelson illegal? Was it legal at one time, but now is legal? No, my logic is pretty straight forward. Your argument that "the Forum" is contradictory because apparently there have been complaints about people working to ride and not turn(I don't know how to argue for "the Forum" to be clear, only my own opinion) then it's somehow at odds with the belief that a particular turn should be illegal is circular. I was using hyperbole to make a point. If we've determined SOME moves on top are dangerous or likely to cause injury, that supercedes the "Forums" desire to see more turns. Amos had his foot behind his head and his knee twisted. That's a good way to Spencer Lee a kid and serves no real purpose other than I guess serve as a strawman for those on the forum who have complained about not enough Wrestlers working for turns. Go to 35:50 and tell me that should be legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...as a ref, you arbitrarily stopped it because you were afraid the other kid...who in your estimation didn't understand the sport well enough...was going to get hurt? But your first sentence was that you'd never seen anything OTHER than a kid ACTING hurt because he just lost. Seems...contradictory, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is extremely uncomfortable, but not any more dangerous than many wrestling moves. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's 36:15....and now, that's NOT the direction the knee was "designed" to be bent. Which moves would you deem as being as dangerous? Lets just make the same rules as the High Schools. When start pulling the foot toward the head, then it's illegal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Parrish Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The biggest problem I see with moves like this is that local refs won't know when it becomes illegal and won't make the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bow and Arrow becomes a Back Bow, it's illegal under NFHS rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...ok. You've NEVER seen anyone hurt from this move(other than faking it I guess). But you STILL felt the need to stop it at the cadet level because you decided a kid was too ignorant and had no idea how to react...to the totally legal move? So what? Why is that a problem if injury is SUUUCH a far fetched idea? Do you also stop kids who don't know how to defend double legs? But sure, everyone who doesn't agree with you is ignorant.

Yeah, I'm done pal. I'm in my 30s, I wrestled for 20 years. I don't need to pick another sport. I think I can still have an opinion on a move. What I can't do it decipher some of this nonsense and respond to it. No scenario was made up. You inferred it was SO outrageous that a kid could get hurt that in your wealth of experience..."I gave reffed for about 5 years…" you've NEVER seen anyone hurt from it. You still had to stop it. Oh and then apparently there were those other times; 6 minutes ago, LJB said: made me think of the several times I gave physically stopped a kid from taking the bow and arrow the wrong direction… that has happened enough times I might have to take my shoes off to count… Huh...so all these times you've had to stop the bow and arrow, but it's NO different than any other move and there's no danger. And if a kid looks hurt...well, then he MUST be faking it! 7 minutes ago, LJB said: you then made up some stuff and now you have decided to make a stand because you clearly have you big boy pants on today… I made up a scenario? Huh...and what scenario did I "make up?" What did I post that didn't come DIRECTLY from you? Please by all means, post where I lied? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's fair. But you're always going to have bad refs. If we start using that as a rationale to not change a rule... Plus, this is already the rule at the HS level. So if they can figure it out, I'm sure the College Refs can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm firmly in the 'safety of the athlete comes first' camp. At least at middle/high school levels, I'd much rather see moves that have a higher chance to go sideways and hurt an athlete go away. Preempting all of the "maybe a different sport..." wannabee tough guy responses, my daughter never runs punishment moves like this and she's done OK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you lose a little power if that happens bud? Do you no longer get to pick which kid is too "ignorant" about Wrestling to stop it? What exactly personally offended YOU in the mere suggestion that the Bow and Arrow should MAY be banned as it's effectively a submission move? And I wasn't bragging about being in my 30s.

Like having both boots in and running a power half against someone pinned to the mat with no way to turn. These are moves designed to inflict punishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
