Dropping to a knee to draw a clasp

[artradley]

This was briefly discussed after the Rutgers meet, but so much happened over the weekend it kind of got dropped.

When OldHead was on top of Lewis, Lewis got to his feet one time, and when Bull locked his hands around him Lewis dropped down to a knee briefly then begged the ref for a clasping call. Now, in HS I'm pretty sure that's actually a technical penalty on the bottom man, but I don't know the ruling in college.

Should that have been a clasp?

Should it have been a no-call because of reaction time?

Or is this the same as HS and Lewis was lucky to not get dinged?

Any college rules experts here?

During the review, the TD was waved off so that's why in this case. As far as IF the TD had been awarded, I will defer to the experts.

I completely forgot that the TD got waved-off. I'm still curious what the correct call would be in that scenario.

Here are the two sections that could have applied....First there is reaction time, second cannot drop down to draw a locked hands.

Art. 3. Interlocking Hands — Reaction Time. Reaction time for interlocking hands exists in all areas except for the locked hands call down on the mat.

Art. 4. Interlocking Hands — Baiting. It is inappropriate conduct for the defensive wrestler to touch either or both hands or one knee to the mat in order to release the offensive wrestler’s lock, and the referee shall not call a violation if the lock is held in such cases.

Thank you. So when Lewis dropped to a knee for 1/100th of a second he was being "inappropriate", and when he complained immediately he was being a whiny bitch.

That's what I thought.

I believe the official can call unsportsmanlike if he Chooses to.
