The districts are to supply the clubs with a form to vote for the referees they would like to see at state. These appear to be very political selections versus performance selections. I believe district 2 selected a very inexperienced referee. While this man was experienced with wrestling his inexperience as a referee changed the outcome of many matches at the state tournament. I know one coach asked the head official to watch his son's championship match as he feared he would get this official. The coach was afraid if he asked he would have reprisals but was more scared of the outcome should that official been on that mat. He told me before he went over to talk to the head official before championship matches, he actually liked the guy as a person but couldn't put his son's hard work in jeopardy with what he perceived as inexperience as an official. I believe there can be some improvement in official selection.
