Didn't see that, but shouldn't that gear been taped on in the first place?
I've seen several matches this year that was effected by headgear. Such as headgear coming off many, many times and giving the wrestler a much needed breather. Might be a topic for next years rules meeting.
As far as the head gear call today, even the wrestlers coach said he didn't know if it was intentional or not, a call made by the asst. referee, to determine the outcome of such an important match was pretty sad, especially since "whatever" happened to Baldwin wrestlers head did not impede him in any way. I think its sad for both boys that the match ended this way. Should have got to wrestle it out!
Fort Scott had a situation in the finals where a kid had a lot of time to get headgear fixed or something, but I think that was under blood time perhaps? Anybody know how that situation was handeld if it was blood time or is it ref's time?
