Coaches are also starting to teach guys to circle to the legs on the finish to avoid the leg pass, or even to deliberately hit their hip

They’re pretty good. Enthusiastic but not.. extra. Better than other presenters. Shane sparks isn’t my cup of tea. I get he loves the sport. Is a good guy but.. his presentation can be a bit.. much for me. I actually like the old Iowa state HC (gibbons?) when things get going and he gives his unfiltered coach opinion he’s not bad

I think he was Batavias first ever state champ? As well

Lol I knew several people who thought so

Stop ruining Track

Why’d they wait so long? Why not do it sooner?

That’s my biggest frustration so far with my girls team. If it was in the fall I could give them the focus they need. My “girls” coach is there but doesn’t know squat so they aren’t getting all the help they could. I’m trying and they’re improving. But it’s very clear that when Illinois finally added it after fighting it tooth and nail. They made it super inconvenient and and an extra burden to do in a bunch of ways on purpose.. then have gone “well we gave you wHAt yOu wANtEd” its.. irksome

Don’t get sucked in. Pointing out other places dealing with or having worse issues won’t matter.

I don’t feel like derailing it. Which probably was the goal of original person who “joked” about it. Especially since it’s likely the reason they left had nothing to do with it

I try to make sure I use the BTN YouTube posts for that reason. Especially because they post so quickly

It also has people moving in. That number is expected to increase for.. reasons. But that’s a different discussion

That’s why I simply said I would hope for better judgement. As in don’t smoke at school. Especially because I would be very confident it wasn’t the first time he got caught. The discussion I’ve had with several of my athletes has been “why would you smoke in school or listen to that person”. As in the common sense/“street smarts aspect. Long before the morality clause of it. Funny/sad story, one of my kids got caught smoking in school, not just school but in the wrestling room. So I was mildly irritated with him. Dude gets hit by a car a day later by an idiot driver. Kid still tries to go to practice because he didn’t want me more upset with him. After I made sure he was okay and in hospital. I’ve tried to make sure to have perspective I have never heard anything bad about him either. And I’ve heard plenty about top kids in the state.

Sigh, people really need to get perspective sometimes

I never heard there were issues with staff at Lockport so with the acknowledgment of the Minnow asterisk*. This actually makes sense. Though one would wish better judgement

Don’t monetize the channel

That completely changes the tone and look of this.

They lived in Lockport. I’m sure they were fine

Given the school he went to. I’m sure his family had the income to do it. So irregardless of my opinion. There’s nothing stopping them

No need to apologize.. I just know how this could devolve. Especially with the other dude.

There’s Greco on there

Same. Then I get the “well it depends on the bottom guy.. no he’s riding parallel

I have a kid who is a hammer with a half with the guy on his knees and would kill with the stack but he for some reason can’t get it down

Can you guys not use your kids when talking about this. It seems rather gauche. Both of you have used them. But I feel like that’ll just spiral the situation..

Pretty much everyone acknowledges PA is number 1 for hs wrestling. The arguments are always about the order of 2-5

It’s on YouTube posted by Big Ten Network. He didn’t slap Brands hand and head butted the pole
