"Coach Ulmer and Coach DeWitt:

The question I raise is the inconsistency, often by the same referee from match to match, with their view of stalling.

If the referee is consistent with their calls this eliminates the majority of the debate as all know that officials views.

When the referee awards a wrestler a stalling point with two (2) seconds remaining in a match while the wrestler on top was attempting to release the bottom wrestler, and seven (7) matches later allows the wrestler on bottom to lay on the mat with no effort to improve their position, serious heartburn is created.

I believe consistency in the application of the rule would have a positive impact on the sport for all."

Richard, have you seen this happen lately?
