While it was amusing it does bring up the topic of why officials dont call or call stalls. It think the sprint around the circle started at about 8 seconds. Should the ref had called a stall warning within 2 seconds and make the kid wrestle the following 6???

Same Tourny x was up 2-1 on y with about 45 seconds. x literally runs to the edge of the mat and stops. y stays in the midle. Ref says nothing so y goes to x and shoots. x sprawls out of bounds they go to the middle. Same thimg happens but this time y stays in bounds. x stays sprawled out of bounds. Y grabs x by the head (not head gear) and drags x back on the mat. Ref awards tech violation to x. No stalls called?

Both great strategies if ref does not call stall but how in the world can you not interpet those as stalls.

Same Tourny, wrestler has leg in, bottom wrestler is being turned with back perpendicular to mat. Wrestler making the offensive move is called for stalling.

Frustrating to see this called when you see wrestlers put the hand in the crouch and arm bar and ride for 3 or 4 minutes of the match with nothing called. Yes they put thier knee out of the whole occasionaly but there is no attempt to make an offensive move.

This is the one area the refs should find some consistancey in how a stall is interpeted then apply it consistently through out their ranks. I say make them wrestle.
