We see this official several times during the year. A very nice guy but he has never been, in my opinion, a state tournament quality official. Due to the lack of a rating system, evaluations, and performance accountability we will continue to have these types of problems. There is NO way he should have be on the whistle in a semis match at state.

Two all the way. No question. The leg is hooked and all the official did was stare at the hands locked around the leg. Read the rule book and refer to the picture where a wrestler has a leg clasped with his hands and the other has stepped over and hooked the leg. Although not the exact situation it is similiar enough to explain why this should have been two. We need to get away from "gray areas" and move to black and white.

Two points. Can't argue the call but you can work towards getting a system in place that makes sure the best officials are working state not just the administrators and popularity contest winners.
