If you read the original proposal that was presented, they recommended a split to 4A Wrestling in to TWO Divisions like the other sports. However, right below the "Data Table" on PDF Page #5 there is a note that reads, [**Feedback on Wrestling (underlined the word Wrestling) Coaches: "Leave as one division".]
Here is the link to the proposal:
http://media.trb.com/media/acrobat/2013-04/229572640-26151647.pdfI have asked numerous Class 4A Coaches that I know in person, through e-mail, on FaceBook, WHEN did you as a WRESTLING (underlined) Coach provide this FeedBack to the creators of the proposal?
I have asked the KWCA Board President and Vice-President, who I am friends and a fellow board member with, when did we as the Kansas WRESTLING Coaches Association give FEEDBACK on this proposal? When did the Class 4A WRESTLING Representative from KWCA provided FEEDBACK on this proposal? When did the Class 4A Regional Meetings Coordinators ask the WRESTLING Coaches at their Seed Meetings for their FEEDBACK!
The bottom line is that from all I've talked to, a handful of principals/ADs may have asked their coaches what they wanted. We are not even sure how many got asked, because from the FEEDBACK I have gotten their maybe was handful.
I don't have a dog in this fight as a Class 3A coach. HOWEVER, I am upset that the Quote attributed to WRESTLING Coaches was not Valid, Accurate or Substantiated!
