I have to say something here. I made a post on this forum and the mat regarding the "controversy", essentially because word was getting back and the request was made by a respectable person to find out what was going on at the duals regarding “the controversy.” I won't share who that was but will say that I believe that person is one of the most respected wrestling persons in the state of Kansas.

Here is what I know, because I was there for 2 days of the duals but not the day "the controversy" happened. None of the fans was yelling against other kids from other teams. Kansas fans were honorable and I was a proud to be in the stands with them. I know that some were loud. Well, Barry Disney among others can tell you that I was loud, maybe too loud at times at the Cadet Duals. I tried to mellow down some at the Junior Duals but one reason that this was kind of easy to do was that my son was not wrestling there. So Jon and Danny, I want you both to know that I admire you and you were actually a little mellow in my opinion. It was actually great sitting back watching you and you did your kids and Kansas proud. Now let me also say this, my name is on my post and I know that Danny DeShazer gets a little excited sometimes and says things that he maybe regrets, well I think he does. We all do that and I am no better than Danny or the worst person you can imagine doing this. Wrestling is an intense sport and that sometimes translates over to parents and or coaches. For someone to call him classless and not leave their name is a disgrace.

In an important, close, match, I would want Danny DeShazer above anyone else in Kansas or Oklahoma in my sons corner because I know that Danny cares for the kids he is coaching and can get the most out of at least my son. Danny DeShazer knows this and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I consider him a friend and a great guy.

Again, Jon, Danny, or anyone else to my knowledge, did anything wrong at the duals. That is unless yelling for, and supporting your team is something we are not supposed to do. Just wanted to give my two cents because of the misinformation and garbage that some are implying and/or saying.
