I always thought refs were trained to do that (start counting before awarding the 2), otherwise they would be late in starting the count.
See this all the time, which is why I figured it was how refs were taught.

that's not uncommon in HS and youth wrestling, particularly if it's a TD to the back. If the ref goes through the proper signal sequence for the TD, they risk missing 3 seconds of swipes, which isn't fair to the top wrestler. Some refs will award the 2 for the TD with one hand, and give swipes with the other hand, but that's a lot to do, especially if they have to jump around to check whether or not it's a pin.
absolutely
I am just not 100% familiar with the new rule & didnt know if that was involved in that particular series of moves
If he's not fully healthy then the rest of the 197's in the country better watch out because he has been VERY impressive. I was really hoping to see him wrestle Cassar in the finals but the refs robbed us of that. Oh well.
Cassar and Nevills will be wrestling this afternoon, but I'm going to have to step away for a bit, so I can't provide coverage for their matches. Just a heads up.
You are supposed to avoid being put on your back in the sport of wrestling. When you are on your back like the UNI kid you should be punished not rewarded. It's really that simple.
Welcome back, Ed Ruth!
Unless you have a ref friend with experience you as a ref aren't taught much, but you are basically correct. The proper technique would be to signal the Td while maintaining track of a count in your head so that while moving into position and awarding the Td if you have already counted thousand one in your head when you start your swipe you can bark out "thousand two". Anyhow, since he was back swiping, in his head he had awarded the Td.
I would just like to hear the explanation for the wave off.
I didn't think so. His opponent was good he kept his head and got the win. One of the things he's supposed to do is win. He was on it
I’m happy for Rasheed, but it’s tough seeing a good soldier like Cutch finish his career as the clear cut third stringer at 197
They doing this to break up all the PSU?
Don’t want Cael to get a cramp sitting in the same chair that long?!
I agree with you. I think Lemons comment is just a byproduct of being spoiled as Penn State fans. A hard fought win can be disappointing looking compared to the fall festival that was happening earlier.
Kutler and Hall had a really close match back in December. Not surprising to see them use it for the final. Only top 5 match as well I believe.
raptor needs less shirtless pics and more belief that he can tech anyone that steps on the line.
Cassar has so much ability, but doesn’t open up. Neither Rasheed or Cassar are reaching the finals at 197, but when I look at the 2 styles, if Rasheed gets hot, he will string some needed bonus point pins together. I don’t see Cassar doing that. He struggles to major Kids.
Your spank bank has to be close to full now of Cassar pics. I don’t think you need anymore. Throw some Rasheed ones in there to mix it up!

Hughes, who is ranked 7th by Flo. Nevills is now 4-0 on the year against heavies ranked in the top 10. I wonder what he would be if he had lost a few pounds and gone mountain biking.
9-7 over 3 seed Boykin from Chattanooga, has 8 seed Loiseau from Drexel in the 3rd place bout
