As many of you know I am very much against the use of any type of tobacco products at a kids wrestling tournament.
I warn all coaches at our tournament that any use of these products will be cause for ejection.
Despite the warning, I still saw the use of chew at our tournament.
I took him off to the side and made him get rid of it!! Yes, I blew it, it should have been an escort out of the gym. To be honest with everything going on, I dont even know what club he was from.
My question is this...
Do coaches have so little respect for the rules that you still use chew even though you know the punishment for its use is an ejection.
Also, when asked specifically by a tournament director to not use it, you still feel the need to break the rules.
It is my hope that all tournament directors will make it a priority to ban these things from all tournaments.
