Johnson vs. Kammerer 6a 145lb match. In the first period, Kammerer is on top of Johnson. Johnson, laying flat on his stomach, looks to the ref, puts both hands in the air, and gets a stalling call against Kammerer. Then, in the third period, after Kammerer had to wrestle his butt off to tie the match, he was on top of Johnson with 10 seconds to go. Johnson balled up, and as Kammerer sat on top of him, Kammerer put his hands into the air and looked at the ref. So what does the ref do? He again hits Kammerer for stalling, giving Johnson a point and the win. Now, to quote the rule book,
"Art 5 ... It is stalling when the wrestler in the defensive position refuses to wrestle aggressively by attempting to escape or reverse his opponent"
After the match, the ref told the head coach of SM West that Kammerer had attempted to show the ref up, so he penalized him. What kind of B.S. statement is that? Since when is the match about the Ref's ego? With 10 seconds left to go, that ref took the match out of the wrestlers hands and decided it himself.
When the match was over, I had 8 people I had never met before tell me that was the worst officiating that they had ever seen and my wrestler was robbed. As for the opinion of other refs, 2 that I spoke with agreed the ref of that match had made a mistake.
This isn't to say that Kammerer would have won. But, he deserved the chance in overtime to let his wrestling determine that, not the ref.
