No your wrong. Officiating is, always has been, and always will be not only knowing the rules, but knowing when to listen to the pleas and when to heed the pleas. I know you can't and shouldn't do it all the time. For what it's worth all the wrestling tournaments that I've been to in the State of Kansas the officials have done a great job of this.

The atmosphere isn't an excuse but again we are talking about children. Atmosphere does affect the way we act especially as children. Again just because a child throws a fit from time to time in a competitive atmosphere DOES NOT mean they are of poor character or in need of alot of redirective punishment.
