No luellen it is not. That is the point he sent a private message

I am the 4A representative for the KWCA. The KWCA board voted to have a group of coaches do the rankings this year. It has caused some hard feelings, but I believe a system is now in place to accurately report the rankings. Eric does an excellent job with rankings, and I appreciate your last post so we can move on.

This was not a private message and he explained his position, just as Chief does. Although they looked down on Chief for doing so. Again I ask the question: Are the Rankings really more accurate than when Chief did them? Wrestlers are in the wrong weights and these four coaches will be more biased than Chief could ever think to be. Was it really for the betterment of Kansas Wrestling?

Beeson, as far as I'm concerned, you are the same as Cokeley. You seem to agree with almost everyone of his posts lately. Anyone who knows Jobe would understand he's an excellent coach and person. Sounds to me like the coaches in the KWCA are trying to distance themselves from anything to do with these forms and the people on them. And I don't blame them.

Disclaimer that should be added to the rankings page: Rankings are for entertainment purposes only. seriously, for the people who are upset on this thread, it is not about the rankings it seems to me they feel Eric was not treated well. obviously what happened was someone who had the authority to do something about it had a problem with Eric. Who that was or if it was multiple 4A people, we may never know (and I may never care).
How do the rankings effect Kansas Wrestling in either a negative or positive way?

In a very positive way, the rankings have opened hundreds of college opportunities for our KS wrestlers. I have had dozens of college coaches and other national wrestling web sites that request my rankings. I have also received several e-mails from parents and coaches who thanked me for the motivation that the rankings have provided their sons or wrestlers. Show me a state with a quality, well maintained ranking system and I will show you a thriving wrestling state. Evidently there is interest with over 24,000 views on the AC rankings and we haven't even started yet. Last year's AC rankings had over 165,000 views.

Proving once again it's all about the person doing the ranking and has nothing to do with those being ranked!

I would have to disagree with you saying Eric is all about himself. Eric and I have disagreed on many topics, and rankings on this forum. But I do feel that he does these rankings for the wreslters and wrestling fans.

Ah, I think Sporto is joking. Helping Kansas kids get opportunities and enjoy the sport more has always been the goal!
