One of the main problems is COACHES who do not know the rules, and if they do, they don't know how to present their case. I don't think in the last 4 years I have even been warned for arguing a call. At times I question judgement calls. But if done correctly the Ref will explain and not give a warning. This is because I'm asking to understand why he made the call, and not blaming him. Too many coaches go straight to attacking instead of trying to understand. Coaches, learn the rules.
I am not saying I know every rule possible, nor should any coach be required to, but there must be something done to require coaches some sort of refreshment test each year. We as officials, JR. High Coaches, High School Coaches, College Officials, have to take a refresher test every year to get recertified, should we not require those that are teaching our wrestlers how to wrestle to know the legal rules by which they must abide?
