Since I guess you are not going to answer my question then I will.

If the wrestlers stepped out of bounds then the action should have stopped and the wrestlers taken to the middle of the rign and restarted. A takedown after they stepped out wouldn't count. There can really be no dispute that this is the rule.

The next question is this: If Steve Woody didn't see them step out of bounds but the assistant ref comes to Woody and says that he did see them step out of bounds then what is Woody to do? Ignore the assistant who says he saw it? Only if Woody had cleary seen that they had not stepped out should he ignore the assistant.

My point is this --- you have complained the Woody made a bad call. You say that you have lost all respect for him as a ref. But all Woody did was listen to his assistant ref. If the assistant said they stepped out of bounds and Woody didn't see it then he has to call them out of bounds. What else could he have done.

Like I said earlier - I don't know if they were out of bounds or not. But that is the only issue. It doens't matter that it was a senior what had been injured and a trip to state was on the line. If they stepped out you have to restart. Period. If Woody didn't see it and his assistant said he saw it then Woody has to make the out of bounds call. He has no choice.

If you want to say that the assistant made a horrible call because they wrestlers did not step out of bounds then that is one thing. But it seems to me that you are getting all over Woody for making the only call he could make.
