I find many of these comments very interesting. As a former highschool coach for 17 years and a former highschool official who worked 25 Kansas State Tournaments, I remember that every highschool head wrestling coach had the opportunity to recommend to the KSHSAA officials that they would like to see work post season tournaments. Those officials that received the most "votes" from the coaches would be given the opportunity to work the post season tournaments. I have been retired for several years now, but I think that policy still exists. Another comment about getting young officials more involved is that many young officials have told me that they just don't want to put up with the BS from many coaches. In many cases coaches have run-off good prospective officials. This is sad but true!
