We had the same type of situation with one of our wrestlers this past weekend as well, only we were on the winning side of this. I told my wreslter to work his moves, and to pin him before he had a double digit lead, as I feel if you are up by 12-14 pts and then pin them it is almost worse than a quick pin or a tech fall. Also with this particular wrestler, we had him exibition a much tougher opponent at the end of the tourn. to get him the mat time everyone everyone is looking for. He actually got beat in the exibition match. So I guess what I am trying to say is that I am not against working your moves, but dont humiliate the other wrestler, and remember there is other ways to get mat time at a tourn. such as exibitions with tougher kids.

Rford and L.Geyer hit it perfectly. It all about the attitude in which it is done. My kids have enormous amounts of respect for a wrestlers attitude. Give them one with respect for sport and opponents instead of a "hah, I'm a beast" competitor anyday.
Nothing comes from demeaning an opponent. Get your moves in then move on. If you work the same move over and over to demean someone, can you really call that mat time. Use your mat time wisely.
