How many team members are on the mat during a match? How many get their hand raised at the end of a match? If you ask a wrestler how it went last night and it was a dual, the first answer you are going to get is whether the wrestler won or not. You will most likely have to prod the team winner out of them and most of the time they won't know the score. The best coaches develop individuals to their full potential in wrestling. This argument will go on and on but scholarships are given out to the individual not the team. Medals are given out to the individual, not the team. WAY more attention is paid to the individual rankings not the team rankings. Would you like more evidence and supporting data? Watch Vision Quest and listen to Louden Swain.
