Will,

We can all explain stalling. But try to define exactly when stalling occurs and the precise moment that it becomes stalling according to the rules. You can't and neither can anyone else. Unlike an illegal hold, it's clearly a judgement call that varies official to official and according to other posters varies state to state to some degree. It varies depending on the age and skill level of the competitors. The only possible answer a referee can give to the question is that in his or her opinion the wrestler is or is not stalling.
