What's this?

So there are two different rule interpretations at play

one is the drop down rule. Heres a link summary:

http://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2015-06-08/panel-approves-drop-down-neutral-position-stalling-rules-wrestling

(note the one hand on the ankle and one hand at hip/waist was really poorly enforced today, both teams did it and didnt get called)

The other is parallel riding. Parallel riding doesnt have a definition in the rulebook,but the 5 second drop down rule was created to try and avoid it.

For me zack was taking advantage of the rule, dropping down for 3 or 4 seconds and hopping back up, with no attempt to use the ankle. The national media had this debate with roskopf who uses the 5 count front headlock to set up NF.

Great post Jersey .....but ZZ was robbed ORANGE call ** -- texashokie1 02/21/2016 5:01PM

I'd say it was the exact opposite of an orange call, took major stones ** -- Jerseyhokie29 02/21/2016 5:02PM

It would have taken bigger stones to call it on the home team. ** -- jrbhokie 02/21/2016 7:26PM

Will agree to disagree -- texashokie1 02/21/2016 5:18PM

No doubt, always appreciate your point off view as well, spot on today ** -- Jerseyhokie29 02/21/2016 5:19PM

That is what makes this board great....we love wrestling and enjoy each -- texashokie1 02/21/2016 5:21PM

Agreed, both you and dallas were on today, very good insight reading below ** -- Jerseyhokie29 02/21/2016 5:37PM

The only thing that surprised me today was Haught beating Huntley -- texashokie1 02/21/2016 5:42PM

Craziest part was him just pushing huntley around twice on his TD attempts -- Jerseyhokie29 02/21/2016 5:44PM

Haught has some crazy strong hips.. ** -- HealthHokie 02/21/2016 6:08PM

Re: Haught has some crazy strong hips.. ** -- Technocrat 02/23/2016 1:55PM

Hate to disagree but a stall that quick on the ankle was uncalled for. If -- HealthHokie 02/21/2016 5:00PM

That's how I understand the rule. That move is still legal. -- hokie576 02/21/2016 5:44PM

Yeah that last call was putrid ** -- Jerseyhokie29 02/21/2016 6:17PM

Just watched the end of that match and they scored it wrong. -- nvpbrown 02/21/2016 6:37PM

Actually, maybe I misinterpreted and the ref did screw up. -- nvpbrown 02/21/2016 6:44PM

It was red first green finger live, awful awful call ** -- Jerseyhokie29 02/21/2016 6:51PM
