SITUATION A
Ok lets say from referees position the wrestler on top circles around to the front and the bottom wrestlers graps the top wrestlers leg. The top wrestler sprawls and lock his hands around the bottom wrestlers body to get his leg free.
I have seen this dons countless times without it being called locked hands, however this year a ref called this as locked hands several times.
SITUATION B
From referees position the bottom wrestler stand up. The top wrestler grabs and wraps this arms arounf both legs inorder to keep the bottom wrestler from escaping. The bottom wrestler falls back down to the mat and the top wrestler keeps his hands locked.
Again I have seen this not called locked hands a ton of times... but this year I have seen it called.
Refering to my rule Book 7-3-4
(summary) Overlapping hands... around the opponent's body or both legs by a wrestler in the advantage position, unless the opponents weight is supported entirely by this feet or lifted off the mat or nearfall criteria is met, is a technical violation.
I guess my question is would both Situation A and B be examples of locked hands and if so I believe both situations are called very inconsistantly...
excuse any typos
