For those that may not know or recall,

"In addition to the sanction listed in the preceding paragraph, any individual ejected from the Kansas Kids qualifying series will not be allowed to attend the Kansas Kids State qualifying series the following year. However, the appeal process continues to apply." Bylaws, Sec 2(Art I)(9)

Three individuals were ejected from last year's Districts. Apparently one received a shorter sentence. Two are banned from this year's Subs, Districts, and State.
You had an official ejected a few years back at a sub-district and his suspension was only six months most of which was the off season. How can you hold an athlete or volunteer coach to a higher standard than a paid official. If a punishment is not going to be applied equally how is that fair? I am not saying the athletes were right but the paid official was 100% wrong criminally and legally and should have been disaplened accordingly. As an official or coach you never have the right to throw a child across the mat for any reason as this official did. You want to know about what happened I can show you the. Ideo of what happened and you can make your own determination of how this was mishandled.

He is correct about the referee. He way overreacted to what happened on the mat. What should have happened was the kid should have been ejected.
Both should have been ejected but that is not my point. You can not bring a rule and penalty out and then adjust the penalty to the person. This is a double standard. If infraction warrants an ejection it warrants the same penalty period. Get rid of the grey in the middle and go with black and white. I agree this is harsh but it is not just a wrestling lesson but a life lesson.
