The feelings at the ExpoCenter regarding Rhodes and all of the TOHK wrestlers are disturbing. You must put some of the blame on coaches--and entire clubs--that confuse aggressiveness with intimidation-- by route of showboating. Kids rarely learn such actions on their own. They generally have great role models. When I first saw Knox's kids wrestle years ago I was dismayed at the demonstrations following a WWWC (wasn't that the old club name?) match. Following victories there were backflips, raised fists, whisltes, etc. Many were done as much to discredit the loser as they were to reward the winner. After a loss--or during a losing match-- there were the challenges to the refs, the consulting of the rule book, the excessive numbers of coaches in the corners AND around the mat--and last but not least the unified demonstration of disgust/anger as they left the arena. Whether these actions were encouraged or just tolerated by parents and coaches--they existed. And the friction between clubs grew. Since then the Wichita kids appear to have gone through a lot of club-jumping. Are they trying to get away from the negative reputation--or are these new clubs more of the same? To Knox's credit, his club has modified its actions through the years while continuing to produce good wrestlers. You'd have to think Charlie cares about the kids to have devoted so much time and energy through the years... I can't support any athlete in any sport taking cheap shots at other athletes--nor can I support them winning or losing without dignity and composure. I think both are learned--and not reflex actions...and they're not just learned at practice.
