One last post and then I am done with this as I recognized long ago this forum will not help change the KSHSAA. If a wrestler asked you these questions how would you explain your answer (please do not say, "Because it is a rule!):

Dad, why can't my coach help me after state when I want to go to (insert name of tournament)?

Coach, why can't we go to the Beast of the East so I can wrestle the best wrestlers in the country?

Coach, why do have to take a weekend off, I want to wrestle every weekend and as many matches as possible?

Coach, why do we have to take a week off of practice and then have to make scratch weight for two more weeks?

Coach, why can't we get tape on wrestlers I might have to face at the state tournament?

Dad, why do I have to miss the first week of practice at school so I can wrestle in the Cliff Keen Kickoff?

Coach, Joe Blow doesn't have anyone to work out with in his room can he and I practice together so we can improve?

Dad/Coach, why are there four state champions at each weight? I never got to wrestle (insert names of other champions)?

If you have a tough time explaining it to a kid then it must not make much sense.
