If you drop to a knee from nuetral its defensive wrestling and should be an automatic stall.

I remember seeing Cael win one and the announcers said he has a very high rate of winning challenges.
To be fair...David Carr is as good as anyone in the country when talking about your second paragraph. And I love DC...like everyone else
I am CERTAIN that it's a fair and just process and who he is has NOTHING to do with it..................
Ankle rides and double boots with no intention of tilting should be top stalling.
Below is just a random steam of thoughts. Not all of these together, necessarily.
What about riding time accumulates, but only awarded if back points are secured?
I like @crablegs idea of no escape point.
Radical thought…stalling only for top wrestler. If a guy turtles, let him up (no escape point) and take him down again.
I’m not sure about 3 point takedowns. Would that make guys who are already hesitant to shoot that much more so?
At the end of the day…as has been mentioned above and throughout the year, something has to be done about stalling universally.

Like a lot of ideas. Stalling on only top guy, would probably limit nearfalls, because bottom guy would put head down & elbow in.
Removing the wording where the top guy does not have to attempt to turn was possibly the worst rule change I can recall. I would much rather see the days of old where the referee makes a judgement call on whether or not the top guy is working to turn. I would assume 99% of the officials have wrestled in the past and know whether the top guy is working to turn or the bottom guy is working to get out. They NEED to go back to this regardless of riding time points or scoring for escapes.
We might have to put up with the occasional "homer" calls or officials not having the balls to make calls. However, I would much rather deal with that than watch the style of wrestling that the latest rules caused. You can certainly see that some teams (Penn State) coached to the new rules.

Call me stupid, because i totally might be... but
Why not start every period in neutral position regardless of how the prior period ended?
No choice, just goes back to neutral every time. It's like "guys have at it again". Go!

This was a major issue maybe 10 years ago. Not so much today.
Covering the hips/riding parallel with no turn after a reasonable amount of time used to be stalling but somehow it isn’t anymore. Let’s go back to that. So simple.
I'm not talking about being on top and wrestling from your knees. You have a bunch of wrestling from your knees in the neutral position. I would like to see more on a stall call when you can tell that is what is going on wrestling from their knees.
