At the point that the wrestler lost consciousness, you no longer had a wrestling match but in fact had a MEDICAL EMERCENCY and the coach acted admirably. The talk about what rules the coach broke or how many points should have been awarded seems trivial and under the circumstances the ref should have the leeway to use his judgment, understanding the coaches intent! On the surface the continuation of the match seems like a ridiculous decision ,on not only the refs part, but also the coaches, trainers, and Doctor (I doubt a doctor gave his OK.)
