There is absolutely no way this is stalling, and any official that would call it as such should be taken off of the mat. I HAVE seen an official make an unsortsmanlike call against a kid who let his opponent up from a 3 point near fall situation when a fall was imminent. That is a different situation entirely. The more I think about this, the more I feel like takedowns are the most important and exciting part of wrestling, and taking a wrestler down repeatedly is not poor sportsmanship.
