Finally got a chance to watch it. Dresser did a solid job of explaining what took place. Funny how every coach is doing the same thing but he is the only one taking heat for it because of how everything took place.
North Dakota State dual
- Thread starter imaclone2
- Start date
Mackall also got screwed out of a fall and I'm not sure what took the guy so long to slap the mat for Ian. Dog **** officiating tonight.
Does Kevin have a say on on who works home meets or is that up to the conference?
Congratulations Cyclone wrestlers and their coaches!!!
Watched the match live, and then fired up the replay of Small’s injury several times when I got home. Still not sure how the injury occurred. Looked like a completely normal situation. Also didn’t see any point that was close to a potentially dangerous call.
Hope he’s ok.
Hope he’s ok.
Didn’t directly say it but what he inferred was that Small dislocated his kneecap. Said it was popped back in after it popped out. Hopefully he can pull off a Mahomes and get on the mat but I’m not counting on it.
Jarrett said his shoulder popped out 3 times during his match. He has to deal with until the end of the season. Not good.
At this point, I am wondering if we will just have Todd, Jarrett, and David make weight for big 12s and then have them forfeit out. I really hope that David wrestles just to get some live action before nationals, but Jarrett and Todd just need the rest to make a run in Minneapolis. I know this will kill any chance we had at the Big 12 title, but get the crew as healthy as they can be for Minneapolis and make another run at the big 12 next year
My daughter was at the dual & said she thought the guy purposely hurt Todd. She also said she heard the coaches yell for the guy to go at Jarrett's shoulder.
I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but Metcalf was wrong when he lost his cool and yelled at the ref. It was uncalled for and a rookie coaching mistake IMO. The few fan's didn't join in until that happened. Most fans, Dresser and St John kept their composure. I'm just not a fan of blaming the ref every time someone gets injured. I was there and didn't see any reason for the ref to stop the match prior to when he stopped it. Injuries suck but they are a part of all sports and they happen.

Metcalf had a pretty good view of it . I agree frustration probably played a part or maybe he had just told the ref to watch the knee . I was there and I was ok with it . I did hear Kish tell the kid to use the shoulder or something like that but that’s sort of standard stuff . Doubt he wanted to injure him but to exploit his weakness
