I am glad to see that there are several people that agree on this topic. I want to make it clear to Nigel, I am not whinning. My son lost his 1st match because of the refs ability to perform his job as specified. My son in return lost his 2nd match legitimately, he just simply did not wrestle like he should have. The 1st match he was flat out screwed out of the match. I will say I do not know if it was because my son had been in the same wrestling program as he had been in the past or if he just did not like my son. I only know that he was wrong, he knew it and when another official confronted him on the mat he seemed to not care. He told me I know just as many people as you do and it will not change my decision. I will also say that this was the 1st ref I had any question about all year. I also agree that when it comes to Sub, Districts and State the refs should be picked by a board not from amatuers.
