Wow
Then wouldn't it be funny to see video of these refs actions put on a site like youtube and then links posted on here. You can do the samething for coaches. I don't care. Over the last year or so I here is what I have seen
Refs put their hands on coaches or wrestlers. Grabbing of the arm or finger pointing to the chest.
Refs advising a wrestler during a match.
The smell of alcohol on a ref.
Numerous counts of profanity to coaches and even table workers.
Have I seen coaches do the exact same thing...
Well all except about two of them.
But my point is there is a checks and balances system for a coach or a wrestlers behavior.
Where is that for same system for a ref.
When a ref behaves like this what action can be taken from our end.
I did hear of one tournament this year where a ref was asked to leave but I don't know for sure.
I know everyone can get passionate even a ref but couldn't it be argued that they should be held to an even higher standard then a coach or a wrestler.
I'm not saying all refs are bad and I understand a guy can have a bad weekend.
But shouldn't there be some sort of checks and balances system or a way to hold these people to a standard and be able to provide HONEST feedback to them without the fear of not being able to coach your team the following week cause a ref is a little to pridefull to admit he made a mistake.
