Looks like they got it right. My vote would be to take away reaction time. It's too subjective for good refs to be consistent.
Actually, that’s how reffing should work. Don’t blow whistle too early as you can go back and review to make sure the MN wrestler scored a clean TD which he did. What if he hadn’t and ref awarded 3 and blew the whistle?

I agree about reaction time being too subjective. They may have gotten this one right in the end, but it was wild. While he may have gotten in right, this ref made some head scratching calls all night. Very quick to make some calls and made a match deciding call after there was no change in position for about 15 seconds. It was “nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, 3” right before the 3rd period buzzer. Again, no change in position. Bizarre.
Dinged a kid for stalling immediately after said kid took a shot. No hyperbole. Kid shot, touched then knee of his opponent and BOOM! Stalling. Hit another kid for stalling 3 times and he never left the middle of the mat.
They did get this right in the end but It’s like we’ve removed all common sense from some of these calls.
This reaction time discussion “issue” is insane. Does it look like a TD? Does he look to have control? It’s like paralysis by analysis. They will never get all of the call 100% correct. But we are going backwards.

I’m pretty sure my dad told me to not reach back before my first ever practice….guess he was wrong.
Some pretty intriguing duals today.
Mizzou/SDSU
Nebraska/Penn St
Okie St/OU
Some other good individual match ups will be Barnett/Ayala, Caliendo/Hamiti in the Iowa/Wisky dual.

Bartlett gifted injury time right before Hardy wins a scramble and escapes with a win.
Didn’t like that call at all.

Hardy got screwed. Nebby came to wrestle today
Rocky has struggled a bit this year. I wonder if the weight cut is getting to him
Would you say he's had a rocky season?
Always duck season in Iowa City.
What's with the voice over? Announcer sounds like he's at a WWE event
I will not be showing that video to any of our young wrestlers
