Coach Craig,

It is my opinion that the rules that we currently have and the rules that are being contemplated have been or are being formulated to try and protect a small number of athletes from themselves--and to "rein in" an even smaller (and getting smaller) number of coaches. Like you, it is my belief and opinion that not as many wrestlers cut as much weight as in the "old days." A lot of this has to do with our coaches being much better informed and more interested in the TOTAL welfare of their athletes.
