That match should have been stopped


They should have stopped it when it was obvious that Andonian's ankle was injured. He will hopefully recover just fine, but the risk of serious injury wasn't worth it in an intra-squad match. Serious ligament damage could wipe out his season or career. I thought that toughening up student-athletes by letting their teammates injure them went out of style a decade or two ago. Imagine the reaction fans and media would have if Coach Fuente stood by as a football player at the Spring Game ever started doing chop blocks on a teammate's leg that he knew was already injured. The inaction by the coaches in this situation was a bad look for VT Wrestling. They didn't even go over afterwards in between matches to see if he was OK.
