You keep sayin what if the time out are misused... WELL, what if the time outs are used properly.. you want to penalize a wrestler for using his inhaler.. then u are penalizing kids with asthma. How about we penelize those wrestlers who are missing a limb because the "normal" wrestler now only have one leg he/she can attack. YOU'RE NUTS
I for sure do not have asthma but i do coach kids with asthma and one of them wrestled this weekend. And in one of the matches I did infact call a time out to allow him to use an inhaler. Honestly, its kinda against the wrestling religion/tradition to call time outs even when they are needed. However, when a kids you have coached all year long or maybe longer looks at you and say they cant breathe who am I or an official to potentially put a kid's health at risk.
Officials call potentially dangerous calls all the time and isn't knowing you have asthma and not granting a kid a time out potentially dangerous??? I do not know what it feels like to attempt to breathe and not get any air but for the thousands of wrestlers who have asthma and who have had asthma attack and go to the hospital I trust their word. SO DO YOU REALLY THINK HAVING ASTHMA IS AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE???
