As a coach who has moved from Oklahoma to Kansas to coach, I feel that the only hinderance that is a great problem is not allowing the coaches to carry on a freestyle/Greco program until after May.. Many smaller towns may not have someone near enough or qualified enough to run a program. I know that there are probably some coaches that can get away with this but I feel that this is a rule that keeps the sport equal for the lazy. This is a tough decision for those of us who prefer not to break the rules. I can't see how baseball is permitted to do this but we can't. I know that the American Legion is what is called but I don't see too many American Legions putting these leagues together.
Not that the school that I am at would benefit from this but I also feel that the rule that schools can not travel such a distance is a little outdated. It would be nice to see schools compete in the Beast of the East or at the Reno tournament of Champions. These are other ways to get colleges to notice the ability of our wrestlers. Again, I am not jumping on anybody's bandwagon, but these are my thought. Have a blessed day,
