After reading my own post I just want to say that I am not attacking anyone in any personal way because I do not know any of you personally. I just can't sit back and read about people talking about coaches as if we don't do much for our student/athletes. As someone said before, we want our athletes to be good people. Can you measure someones success and dedication to the sport by wins and losses, state championships, tournament championships....no, you really can't. Does the guy on my team that has won less than ten matches in 3 years not work as hard as the guy who has lost less than 10 in 3 years even if they both wrestle year-round? Does ability not have anything to do with it? Does a kid who plays 3 sports need to be driven away from the other 2 sports because his wrestling coach is allowed to coach him year-round now and in order to be successful he needs to not play other sports so he can be a state champion in wrestling? Kansas probably sends about 1-5% of their athletes to college to wrestle. Do you really think that would change if all of these rules got changed? I know some change is good but what do you really want from KSHSAA. Maybe we should just send the "good kids" to increase their 10 "quality" matches they get a year. There a bigger fish to fry when it comes to high school athletics. Ask guys like Troy Hodges and Randy Westfal what kinds of problems they dealt with on a day to day basis with most of the kids they coached. I guarantee the number one thing on their mind wasn't wins and losses. It was about making a positive difference in the lives of our youth and is that what were doing by bending rules and calling things "stupid".
