Great points Doug. Like you, I am trying to get funding to buy shorts for my middle schoolers (I also feel like my middle school numbers will increase with this option) and have the wrestlers who wish to use a the 2 piece alternate purchase their own compression top. I also hope they would make the transition to the singlet before they reach high school, if not, like you we will work with them on that. Lets face it, kids worry about their body image.
I also saw a video on Facebook that Ben Askren posted in regards to the uniform debate and I thought it was an interesting point when he talked about perception of our sport by outsiders. He mentioned that a college athletic director told him he would never get caught rolling around with another guy in his underwear. I am not sure how true this could be, but it could be a valid point and caught my attention.
Coach Buckabee, I love the transition to nearfall and falls out bounds. Like you though, I would have rather seen them follow the college out of bounds rules as well. I also think stalling needs to be addressed according to the rules as well.
