Kansas City Stampede

Not 2, but should have been 1 for fleeing the mat...

I wasn't trying to disparage the ref or the quality of officiating in MO - even though I'm sure someone from MO would think so - I merely have issue with the poster trying to justify the call. My only thoughts on this are that posters justifying the call are:
1) from a state where they do not see quality officiating on a consistent basis and therefore are not as knowledgeable as they could be on what the correct call - or rather the usual/expected call, since there is no "correct" call here as it is a subjective call regarding the interpretation of control/covered hips - would be in this situation

or:
2) A homer
I will assume you are #2, since you know that MO has 2 refs who officiate at the NCAA championships (were either of them officiating Oliver-Stieber, lol, just kidding).
On your other points:
"Let me guess, you're from one of the power states and every call made in your state is 100% spot on, what a joke. For the record, MO has 2 refs who officiate at the NCAA championships, Big Ten & etc every year, so i think MO is fine when it comes to officiating."
Read my post - most states have some fine officials and there are bad officials in every state. I am merely stating the obvious - the depth of quality officiating is greater in the power states. I know my comment in the post before was a bit arrogant. I apologize and probably shouldn't have generalized about this particular official or call - I was more trying to call out the poster (aka Steven Gaughan), who is way off base. I mean, look at the video and then try to read his "failed boot-scoot" comment and try not to laugh. I shouldn't have morphed this into one of the power-state vs. non-power state arguments, but I did.
"Assistant refs are there to make sure that all calls are called correctly. If the assistant refs aren't man enough to challenge an incorrect call, get them off the mat. I've seen many calls overturned and if the assistant ref felt the call was incorrect, he should've said something."
That is not the assistant refs job - to challenge an incorrect judgement call. They have some responsibilities, but this is not one of them. If the official needed needed help and asked for it, then the assistant should be "man enough" to voice his opinion. For the record, after rewatching the match, the head official looks pretty good. Look when you are in SV, you've got to be decisive and firm with your calls. Unfortunately, he got it wrong - it happens to the best of them. I will agree that the officials vantage point may have impacted the call. I think in this case, the vantage point of the camera was actually a better position to make this call, but have no problem with where the official was positioned. It happens.
"The "level" of officiating changes from state to state. Our team wrestled at a major HS tournament this year out east and I was puzzeled by how some of the calls were officiated. Our team had to adjust to the refs and move on."
WOW, it looks like we do agree after all. I think this is exactly what I was saying.

Seriously, " The right hand firmly grasps the right hip while the left hand clasps the foot. That's AFTER reaction time. While the defensive wrestler is on his butt, following a failed boot-scoot, the offensive wrestler can be seen with even more control because he has hip and foot while the defensive wrestler is on his butt. That was control. That's an easy 2. If you can't see that, slow it down and try using glasses."

I'm not 100% sure what part of the country you are from, but I'm guessing MO. You are probably used to this level of officiating. I'm going to take heat about this, but I see refs from all over the country and I can tell you that although there are great and bad refs in most states, the quality of officiating is deeper in the power states. It is - it has to be, they just get to work many more high level matches. And I don't mean to disparage this official. I don't have any knowledge of him, I'm just making a call on a very limited body of work. This is going to come off as arrogant, but whatever, it's true. There is nobody that has watched a lot of high level wrestling, where things happen very fast, situations change quickly, etc that is going to call that two 99% of the time.
It is what it is, the ref blew the call. It happens. Doesn't mean the kid from MO wouldn't have won later, just means he got a good call this time.
And the guy who said that it was confirmed by the assistant ref, really????? In what alternate wrestling universe do you live in where the assistant would get involved in that? We have assistant refs working NCAA finals that would confirm worse calls than that. Again, it is what it is. The ref made a quick incorrect call, you just move along to the next match. That's wrestling, that's what happens.

I'm a big Hayes fan, but that wasn't 2!! Having control of one leg out of bounds is not 2.

Hard angle to judge from on the takedown.
Definitely not boring. IMO a classic high school version of Dake and Taylor's All- Star match earlier this season!

There were 2 refs on the mat and the secondary ref confirmed the call. The coaches did argue the call but the call was upheld, right or wrong.

horrible call.

A lot of home cooking calls at this tourney for the MO schools.

I agree. Close call but don't think the cam angle here tells the whole story on the Hayes takedown. Looked like two from where I was standing matside...but, yea, was still a quick call.

TERRIBLE CALL! CH kid was closer to a TD moments earlier. LIttle home cookin perhaps?

Absolutely no 2 and a terrible way to lose but neither guy did much during the match!! Almost as boring as watching Heavy Weights I would expect a high flying match between 2 of the best 113lbers

Only had one leg. Easy call no two.

Awesome toe drag Ke-Shawn did at the end. Have to wrestle on the edge!
