  1. During the Senior and U23 world's, I was helping remotely. I viewed the UWW stream for my mat and scored it as if I was matside. Using that software breaks the stream up into bout-sized chunks to be archived as per usual. We were the ones putting the commercials in. We did it between bouts. I don't know how they're doing it here.
  2. Should try to get Cooper Flynn a match with Cooper Flagg
  3. One was EIWAs, I believe Chris's freshman year. And their trainer (Also Chris) went through the whole process and pulled him in Semis. He was able to get back to NCAAs.
  4. I'm going to disagree with one thing here. We (Lehigh) wrestled 123-191 + Unl in duals. My understanding is that the East generally wrestled this combo and the West 115-177 + Unl. This must have differed school to school given JBs info- which would have included Lock Haven. I did notice in 1960 and 1962 we wrestled Okla and Colgate without either weight but all other duals that year had 191. 1958 didn't have 191 at all. And then as said- at NCAAs 115-191 + Unl. Definitely more bumping. Thad Turner wrestled anywhere from 167-Unl.
  5. This is about as important of a discussion as what different areas call certain moves. Koch is pronounced- Cock, Cuck, Kotch, Coke. There is a family from NJ - Dufresne- where I think every member of the family pronounced it differently (or at least a lot of them). Du-frane, Du-frez-knee, Du-frez-nay, Du-fren.
  6. I'll play a little devil's advocate here. And for full disclosure, I've known Mike for a long time (before HS) and know the trainer, Chris. Chris came to me at other events to pull kids, so I know it's not a pattern. You couldn't see the original head hit on the mat. And the issues later weren't so much while wrestling as when the ref would blow the whistle and he took his time getting up. He attacked and defended. So maybe he was tired or recovering from something.
  7. I don't imagine it all came from one person. I recall a lot coming out of a club near Pittsburgh (Adam Frey's dad among others). I remember hearing of one guy from the 60s inspiring the club to develop it even though that guy wasn't really a big name.
  8. There's one in the OPC at Coe (definitely not this one though)
  9. Politically he is (or at least was) but he's actually quite the pleasant personality to what I have seen.
  10. Of course. He sat out for some period of time also.
  11. Some, yes. All, no. Dual meets can probably handle it. Tournaments are the problem. A few years back (5?), a kid from NC was seriously hurt running into the wall because there was no buffer off the mat. This wasn't using college rules but that would have been even worse. Now all this having been said, I think using college ob rules might need to be couple with college edge of mat stalling. Probably helps keep kids momentum from running off.
  12. I agree and it's used at most out of season tournaments. But the reason is simple. A lot of gyms don't have the room off the mat.
