Total different can of worms in regards to FILA/USA wrestling.

FILA is the international rules and if you knew anything about the disparity, you would know a little about political maneuvering of the countries after USA dominance.

Use to be able to do multiple guts. USA kicked butt and then FILA changed the rule. Same with leg laces. I remember back in the day, locking up a leg lace and then doing cartwheels - 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, match....

Now that countries have caught up so to speak with USA's technique, reintroduce the multiple guts.

That is not what the National board is attempting to do.

(Swish).

Sportsfan states....

"Also, has the KWCA been pushing for more coaching time? If not, why? I don't hear coaches complaining since the summer time ban was lifted. But maybe I'm only exposed to the reasonable ones."

As an official position of the KWCA board they are interested in a Dual State, which may or may not be directly involved with "more coaching time." If at the end of the season, after state, then yes, they have been pushing for more coaching time. If the dual state were built within the confines of the season, then no.

As for complaints about the summer time ban being lifted, that again is a separate issue. I guess you have to be more knowledgable about the issues to comprehend. The question should be, would coaches like to see FS/GR listed as distinct styles, separate from folkstyle and should we allow coaches to participate in providing coaching outside of the two styles. I would gather from my circle of coaching counterparts that yes, they would like to see the state open it up.

Since KWCA is primarily focused on folkstyle and the implementation of changes instituted with the high school season, the dual state is their top priority (or was I think they've laid off the topic for the time being).

Coach twink,

I hope that they are more vigilant in adopting something other than the pilot program. It would make more sense as a protection of litigation.

I know I'm coming across as brash, but I'd like to see the state start looking at more leadership roles. We are consistently in the top 10 in the nation and part of being a leader is stepping up and leading. Being that I don't know if other states have followed suit with Kansas in the various issues, I question that leadership.
