Dennis is a Pu$$y 1 year ago

Dennis is a pu$$y plain and simple. He made his career on being the ultimate stalling fagit. Thank god he lost last year in the finals to a much better wrestler too.

as much as i wanted chris to win this match, that was fleeing the mat regardless of what anyone says, thats fleeing the mat

Any good ref calls that fleeing. What happened before or after has no bearing on that call.

From the 2009 NCAA Rule Book:
Rule 5.10.3: "Repeated movement away from the opponent without attempting a takedown is defined as fleeing the opponent and is stalling.

Rule 5.14 - Fleeing Wrestling Area
Fleeing or attempting to flee the wrestling area, or forcing, or attempting to force an opponent out of the wrestling area as a means of avoiding being scored upon, is a technical violation. Both wrestlers should make every effort to remain in bounds. Fleeing occurs any time a wrestler avoids wrestling by intentionally going or trying to go out of bounds, by pulling or attempting to pull the opponent out of bounds or by pushing or attempting to push the opponent out of bounds. Fleeing the wrestling area shall not follow the disqualification sequence. The penalty shall be one point for each infraction.
Whether this is called 4%, 44% or 94% of the time is irrelevent. The rule says what it says and the ref made the call based on the rule and it was the right call.

Thank you for that rule. THIS SOLVES IT.... Dennis was pushing Notte out of bounds the entire match. Therefore be consistant and award Notte his penalty points too. Having said that Notte won the match. Watch the whole thing. In fact, go back and watch the same two at OSU in Jan. Notte won that match too. According to the rule you just posted.

That's only a clip of the match... Chris wrestled agressively the entire match. If your going to through penalty points out there Dennis should have been hit for stalling. They both got a TD and an Escape. With 30 seconds left let them duke it out in OT. Besides Notte initiated the move and had Dennis' arm. Bad call...

Here is one from the medal round 2 yrs ago. Much more questionable than the Iowa/Ok St one:

sorry about the spelling of "NOT"!

tom hunter 3 years ago

the real problem was the ref didn't call Dennis for stalling throughout the period and this attempt by OkSt. The "fleeing the mat" call was questionable; I've seen many exact replicas NOT called, and a lesser percentage called. I'm retired, but used to Ref High School matches and tournaments.
I would NOPT have made the call. th

He fleed the mat. It's a rule, and refs should enforce the rules no matter what tournament it's at.

Ref 3 years ago

I ref and this fits the definition of fleeing the mat, however I would never make this call to decide a match in the NCAA's because the wrestler from okst initiated the action!! Im sure others see it differently but its bull when ref's decide matches rather than the wrestlers ...

That call was a terrible call for sure but thats the NCAA'S nothing is ever perfect!!!

hawkeyes are tools 3 years ago

I made sure not to read any of the comments before viewing or posting...

I think it was fleeing as I understand the rule.
Now that I have read the comments, Sam is right on. Call the correct way, all the time and there is no contrversy.

Sam 3 years ago

If that call was made regularly in that situation, then it may have been a decent call. But fleeing is rarely if ever called and in that situation, after having initiated the action, it was a poor one.

no..

Good call. Coaches at all levels would tell you to circle and not be so blatant about going out of bounds.

Joe O'Gorman 3 years ago

Chris Notte may have won this match and did not because he did not wrestle aggressively enough and did not do well on the edge of the mat. Whether or not it should have been called a "fleeing the mat", and in my opinion it was a reasonable call, I think Notte should have countered the move more aggressively and tried for a stalemate or a good scramble. If one thinks it was a questionable call, one should admit that Chris should have wrestled more aggressively to win and if he had wrestled more aggressively the call would not have been made as it was made. Notte has an excellent future as a Division I wrestler and this moment will stay with him, fuel him to excel, and school him on better tactics. Chris had an excellent first season in DI and lost to an outstanding wrestler. Chris will perform even better in his next season.

Chris was def. fleeing the mat this is college wrestling he's gotta be working for more..he knows where the out of bounds is he needs to move in. Was not a questionable call.

Wrestler4life 3 years ago

Have to agree with Brian, its the big show and you know whats on the line here. He was fleeing, where the hell else was he going, to grab a drink?

matref0 3 years ago

I can live with this call. OK St was dragging IA out of bounds. Text book flee IMO. The problem is it is not called much during the regular season and it should be.

If you think I'm full of crap, if this was a bad call, John Smith would have went nuts and they would have been at the table arguing it. He told his wrestler to stay on the mat.
Of course the Iowa fans applaud this call.
