"The lower ranked wrestlers do not enjoy this privilige. They have got to face all comers. Their coaches could care less about all of this other stuff. I've seen some of these "elete" wrestlers "toy" with inferior opponents. I don't like it! I never did! I never will! I root against them! Maybe they know who they are. The wrestlerx that I admire and respect are the wrestlers who stick a kid in short order ... rather than one who "toys" with his inferior opponent for as long as he can before he sticks him. Maybe thats just me."

Now, I might have to disagree some on this. I don't know if it's playing around or getting some work in. Especially in two day tournaments where you have to make weight twice. Sometimes you need that extra mat time to burn another 5/10ths or so. Now I am not big on being flagrant. But if you are just wrestling hard I think that's o.k.. However, what do I know?
