Handy vs Moyer States

[soccer07]

Let us not forget that there was a 3rd incident that no one is talking about.
In reference to the following:
2.2.1.2
An athlete shall not strike an official, opponent, coach, or spectator or display gross misconduct before, during, or after an athletic event.

A wrestler from the host school punched a spectator in the side of the head after a verbal confrontation in the hallway that was initiated by the wrestler. He then confessed to the officer that took the assault complaint that he did in fact punch the spectator and didn't care about the consequences. This young man was not only allowed to continue in the tournament and, though he didn't receive one of the automatic bids, was seeded by the committee.

To sum up the weekend's events:

1) Athlete 1 drops an f-bomb out of frustration with himself not directed at his opponent (this time) or the official: Career over

2) Athlete 2 uses colorful language after launching his headgear that, on an amusing side note, flew threw the air and struck his coach in the privates. The language was directed at the official: Must sit out the first round of the states (according to the DIAA by-laws also is banned from participating in or being present at any event related activities prior to the round including weigh-ins (not sure how DIAA is going to get around that)) But may wrestle in the consolations.

3) Athlete 3 is accused of, charged with, and confessed to assault of a fan during the event. No consequences whatsoever.

Damn.

It wasn't even a slam. It was a trapped arm. Maybe he should have cursed at the ref thrown his head gear and refused to shake hands. Then he'd be wrestling next week.

If it was a trapped arm- isn’t that suppose to be stopped the minute the kid is lifted off the mat and deemed potentially dangerous?

What was this third incident? Was that the “fight” that was mentioned?

I think the best fit personally is going back to the draw system that the DIAA abandoned after 2014. 6,6,4 and just seeding the number 1 seed. I won in this format and I won the year that they first introduced seeding the whole bracket and the draw system was a lot more competitive, especially for Indy guys. No one gets screwed and if you didn't make states then it's on the wrestlers for having a bad conference tournament and it's all settled on the mat, rather than leaving it up to people behind a desk. That's just my two cents on the matter.

I believe so.

 

[AllHeart28]

@upstatewrestlingfan I did not know that. I still think the Sussex Tech HWT and DMA HWT are the two best in the state. But hey, if that's how the pieces fell based off the criteria because of that loss, then that's how the pieces fell.

Did this happen at Henlopens as well?

 

[GorillaDE]

yes

 

[taway]

Have you read what happened to him or can you just not comprehend it? Maybe someone can explain it slower for ya lolz. It doesn't sound like his ability was the issue at hand.

Perhaps sarcasm is your forte only when you are delivering it...

I also believe they are the best two, will be a fun semis at HWT

After a day of reflection and the chance to go through the DIAA handbook it appears to me that Moyer, since he has been seeded in the state tournament should not have to sit for the first round. The tournament bracket for the HAC tournament has him forfeiting the round following his DQ and then winning 5th by Handy forfeit. According to their own criteria Moyer has already sat for the required round. Furthermore, if he is required to sit the first round of the state tournament then, by DIAA rules he must not participate in any state tournament activities prior to that round, including weigh-ins, which would then disqualify him from the competition. Since DIAA has seeded him, he is not disqualified from the competition, which means he is eligible to weigh-in and hence, eligible to compete in the first round.

Shew.

This is very disturbing. Why is DIAA not getting involved ? They are the governing body and they are charged with enforcing the rules ! I am more concerned over the fan being punched, the wrestler being charged with assault and still being allowed to wrestle. It goes far beyond the mat.

 

[myrealname]

That whole story is scary. Charged and then allowed to compete. Not even punished by his team for his behavior. And don't tell ne he did push-ups or ran extra sprints every day. Lolz.

As for Moyer Take a look and see what school has the most representation on the committee then you'll known all you need to know.
