Well Said Church Sr. (and WSEWC )

I agree with Nigel that the ref needs to have the power to control the match, but with this power comes responsibility. Referees should absolutely be held to the same standards of accountability as a coach.

I completely disagree that a "warning/ejection" system needs to be in place in order to keep the coach from questioning "every close call". As a coach, I have seen many calls that went the way of the other wrestler, but in most situations I do not question them because I understand that they are "judgement" calls that most of the time could go either way, and I can respect that. However, if I see a call that in my mind is "bad" (or even worse, a series of them), I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be allowed to ask the ref (during a break and in a respectful manner) what they based their call on without it being it being considered "unsportsmanlike". If the ref has the power to make the call, then they should be able to explain why they did it, and correct it if necessary. I don't expect them to change their mind every time I disagree with them, but at the very least it would help my wrestlers understand what they did "wrong" so that it doesn't continue to cost them in future matches. If this is handled in a respectful manner, what's the big problem?
