#6	South Wrestler August 27 at 8:32pm Awsome!!! I go to South Fort Myers High and Im being trained by the legend, Pat Milkovich!!! He is the best trainer ever. reply
#5	Jim Harshaw February 11 at 8:39pm Yes! Excellent point. Dual meets are a big piece of the puzzle. Not tri meets, quads or tournaments. There's a place for those but that's not what will help us. We need to see the forest for the trees. reply
#4	Anonymous Coward February 10 at 7:09pm zeb if you get the old man that would be a historic interview. he usually comes down to the state tournament probably the only chance to caught him he likes to be very low key. reply
#3	Cliff Fretwell February 9 at 1:05pm Awesome to get a 10 minute interview with a LEGEND! I've heard stories about him taking Gable down like 10 times in a row he was soooo quick...crazy stuff. reply
#2	Zebulin Miller February 9 at 12:30pm Think he wants to get rid of Fargo, Disney Duals, AAU Stuff and just wrestle camps. It is a different approach and it is nice to hear fresh perspective. reply
#1	Gantry February 9 at 12:19pm Though I'm not sure about the elimination of summer wrestling, I completely agree with Tom that MUCH more focus in high school & collegiate wrestling needs to be on the duals and promoting them to the casual fan and students of the schools. Well promoted duals and school spirit gets way more non-diehards watching wrestling than any tournament outside of states & NCAAs. reply
