Thats just my experiences i've acually been thrown out of tourneys in both states.
Nice!
I don't have a problem with a coach being so passionate that he argues for his wrestler. Officials are not always right. Most of the time they don't even know what an ejectable offense is. They just abuse their authority.
Sport0, do you have a problem with Bobby Cox, Atlanta Braves long time manager and a lock for he baseball Hall of Fame? Bobby holds the Major League record for being asked to go to the locker room! How about Dean Smith? The man who was thrown out of a NCAA Final Four game? Bobby Knight? Virtually every week in the world of professional sports a coach is being ejected for qestioning a call or being fined for criticizing officiating when the replay supports their position... Come on, it is okay to argue and to disagree. It is a part of sports not unsportsmanlike! Where there is passion there will be conflict and as long as we don't have FLAGRANT MISCONDUCT happening there shouldn't be any ejections. If officials practiced 20% as much as our wrestlers they would be much better. Worry about what is going on in the circle and don't worry about what is being said in the corner. Openly accept coach's advice/criticism, they might be right!
All of those that you mention are paid to coach and are not coaching at the youth level of course. I have problems with anyone who can't recognize the difference between youth sports and those you use as an example!
So, let me get this straight, Coaches who are professionals, getting paid, and not coaching youths can yell, scream, kick dirt, bump officials, etc and it is okay but a VOLUNTEER who spends many nights, days, and miles of their time without ANY compensation cannot argue or disagree with an official passionately? Furthermore, just because a guy is wearing a striped shirt they are ALWAYS right and they are always within their right to eject anyone for whatever reason??? Please...
