Is it me or does it seem like PSU doesn’t have as many dual meets as other teams. Is that accurate or am I mistaken
 
Great point. Their practice and workout regime is tougher than most duals. I’d wrestle these kids the absolute minimum amount of duals and go to two good tournaments a year. Why beat them up. They need to be fresh at tournament time.

A lot of schools wrestle single day multiple duals, which gives them more duals within the 16 date limit. As noted above, the coaching staff doesn't seem to see the advantage of that; and our system seems to be working pretty well!

This.
I would love to have more matches (opportunities) to see the guys compete.

There is a plan in place and to argue against the plan would require ignorance of the results, and those results strongly support the effectiveness of the plan.

Bingo. Starting in Cael's 2nd season we went to a schedule in which we only had one dual on the final weekend of the regular season and have stuck with that plan and it seems to have worked. :D
 
The number of duals Penn State wrestles is perfect. And if the question is a curious one about why other teams wrestle more, Tom answered the question...and WrestleStat has all team's schedules. The computer is your friend.
 
Oh great. Another top-secret coaching move just escaped into the now 3.003-inch binder. #looselipssinkships

Don’t listen to these BWI guys, Toms. Compete hard and lift hard straight into the postseason! That’s the ticket.

;)

To late, TnT figured out the scheduling secret several years back. However, it has not benefited them quite as much as it has us. :D

IMO, not all duals are created equal. 14 duals featuring all your uninjured starters > 16+ duals where top wrestlers routinely sit. I'm grateful that with PSU duals we can count on getting the full contingent of our superstars in the lineup (with rare exception).
