Brick Review Change???

[Callthestall]

I was at match yesterday. I hate coaches challenge and refs reviews when they take too long. I thought yesterday the refs did good job on confirming calls. The one thing I think should be considered is in dual match offer 2 challenges to coaches. One for first 5 matches. Then another one for coach after intermission.
I also would consider if the challenge is wrong to allow opponent choice on restart. This might prevent coach/ wrestler to use brick when someone is gassed.
Curious what other people think of above.

At first glance I thought it a good idea, however, all too often a ref simply won't reverse his own o obviously flawed call. In essence the wrestler would be penalized twice by the ref for his ineptitude.

Yeah freestyle...

How about using real bricks that the coaches can throw at the ref when they see a bad call? That would incentivize the refs to be more careful about making bad calls. 😈

I wouldn’t mind using the freestyle rule that if the call isn’t reversed, the opponent gets a point.

I don't want a wrestler punished for a coach challenging a call. I question why it takes so long.

I have been banging this drum for quite a while. I mentioned in another thread that I thought it would be an excellent idea to lose a point for a failed reversal. Another forum member stated he thought the lose of a brick was enough of a deterrent. He didn't want to see the kid lose a point on a poor decision by his coach.

If you can dodge a ball, you can dodge a CHAIR. Cael

“Challenge Chair” has a nice ring to it…

 

[LOTOlion]

Why does it have to be a “brick”. What if a coach just threw one of their shoes?

I have a strong suspicion the next brick Cael throws WILL find its mark. IYKWIM

Or they removed their glasses and threw them. That would have a certain “visual” appeal and imply that the ref needs them

I tried unsuccessfully to find a GIF of Brands twisting his shoe 😕

Why aren't tasers used? That would get the refs attention, plus you have sights!

foam bricks work well!

In freestyle, it's not uncommon for the coach to throw the brick and the wrestler to throw it back, declining the challenge.

No reason that couldn't happen in folk as well.

I liked when UWW had either Beanie Babies or Baby Yodas or something - hilarious to see these dour Russian badasses pick up a toy and throw it for challenges
