So I'm sitting here, minding my own business and realizing I haven't done anything bad since, oh, last week and decided to see what was up.

Look Ma, I got a folder devoted to me!

Yell at the 189 lber during a conso semi finals match against your son? And? Did I yell at your son? What's the problem? As it's too much for me to get out of my chair and grab the bracket from my files, I'll defend myself on two points.

One, the stack issue, this was is a bad habit the wrestler has. He doesn't want to break anyone down and wrestle the basics. Basics win matches against quality opponents. This is something we preach at SHS and the athletes, including this one, understand it. When a wrestler beats a guy so it can be pretty and embarass the other wrestler, I get irate. Sorry for defending your son to my 189 lber. I'll do better to belittle him the next time. No need to thank me.

Second, the wrestler in question is one in particular that I have work with during the summer to continue his wreslting achievements as well as the Miller boys and others around the Topeka area. With this in mind, do you really think a parent would allow, a psychopath coach their kid? They respect the decisions I make. I get excited. Things I haven't done include: openly berate an opponent, openly belittle my wrestlers (you suck, etc.). That does not mean I don't get excited, but it does mean that I am constructive as I am "yelling" at my wrestler.

Thanks to all those that supported me in the responses.
