You have to work to get to a base


I refereed this weekend (two horribly very long days) at a USA Wrestling event and had to call stalling on guys the bottom when they just refused to do anything but act like a "turtle" on the bottom. The funny thing was, in every time, the coaches in their corner agreed. You have to make an attempt to improve your position.

Conversely, I would hit stalemate on top guys who thought that they could get away with putting "double boots" in and then making half-ass attempts at tilts or any sort of near-fall combo. If they did it 1-2 more times, I would start to hit them with a stall call as well.

  How do you evaluate "working" -- Pylons 03/11/2019 1:44PM
  It's personal opinion and its subjective -- AirborneHokie96 03/11/2019 2:46PM
  So you feel you're able to gauge effort? -- Pylons 03/11/2019 5:09PM
  Yes and yes -- AirborneHokie96 03/11/2019 5:42PM
  Agree - effort and also willing to take risks -- MartyE 03/11/2019 8:04PM
  My issue was the 1 sided nature of calls -- Drake7hokie 03/11/2019 11:05AM
  So you'd advise a ref how? -- Pylons 03/11/2019 1:07PM

  Having two boots should be a stalemate. -- Hokiefan94 03/11/2019 10:00AM
  2 questions -- Pylons 03/11/2019 2:06PM
