Charlie,
I was there at MAT 5 and watched one of your wrestlers loose the 72# bracket and the reaction of the coaches on and off the mat is what specifically started this incident. When one of your wrestlers one the 76# bracket, a TOHK coach that was behind the table but on the floor hopped up on the wall and started screaming at people, "you know you hate it when we win, you know you hate it", over and over and over. And yes, he was directing it AT ME directly and others also by pointing at them My son was at 80# and because of one of your coaches flipping the crowd off and another calling a table worker a "f****** b****", the mat was shut down for a while. None of your coaches were called idiots, even though one of them was, that I heard and I was 2 feet from the table the whole time this was going on talking to the table workers from the Brawlers. The table workers handled themselves very well. I would say that your coach that jumped up on the railing was lucky that a gentleman didn't defend the honor of the lady that was cursed at. Good thing they only brawl on the mat and not off.

So, to say that your coaches were called idiots after you won a match is wrong. I didn't hear it. But, if it was said it wasn't said because your wrestler won. It was said because of the the way YOUR coaches were acting after the 72# match and the 76# match.

I do respect the intensity that your coaches bring to the mat. As you know I bring it also. I have not always been perfect by no means after Landon loosing. But, I think what most are trying to relay to you and your coaches is to walk on and off the mat like a champion win or loose.

We all seem to forget at times, me included, this is for the kids.

Good luck to all of those wrestling this summer and we will see you all next year.
