blt, i agree with you on this one. remember all the crap i went through last year. all i needed was a coach. i had to make my wife get a coaches card so Robert could wrestle. and now you guys are saying the refs don,t have to get the background chks? i dont think so. i really dont see a ref getting out of control with 2 to 4 coaches at matside. and they dont have any personal contact with the kids outside the mat. But whats good for one should good for all of us. Period!
