I respect your opinion coach but why continue to let the problem escalate. I think as of now the situation is under control, with that situation involving Coach Lane being the last major outbreak in Kansas. But given time it will surface again I believe. I remember a couple of years ago when there was a huge outbreak of ringworm that rendered several teams around the state unable to wrestle. But that is a fungus and it can be gotten rid of. Herpes however you cannot get rid of. I know its not going to happen and those with herpes will still be allowed to wrestle but as a coach and official I don't believe it is right.
