Actually, I have to side with Boach on this one. The rule book says that if any part of the pinning area is on the out of bounds line, no back points/pins can be awarded. From my vantage point (matside), the bottom part of the UHS wrestler's right scapula was on the line, so even if he was completely flat, a pin wouldn't have counted. I know that this may be nit-picking, but the referee was not in position to see this. The UHS 275 was on his back out of bounds until the reversal. While he was rolling over, then the ref should have started his nearfall count. It would have been close to a 2 count, but there is no way to tell without seeing the tape. So while it was an UNBELIEVABLE throw, The match should have either gone to overtime or been a 2 point victory for Bedore (backpoints pending).

I'm not trying to take away from Jordan--I believe that he is an awesome wrestler and has had a great career. He probably would have won had the match gone to overtime. I wish him the best as he straps it on for KSU.


Congrats, Aquinas!
