This ought to raise it a bit
I hope AD learns how to somewhat ride in the off season. This would benefit him big timeI know this ref was hot garbage, he blew the first take down on the edge and called ADS for stalling after taking a shot. Those are crap calls, but if ADS rides out that first period I think he wins. It's a 19 sec ride out after he gets his first "official" take down, that's an important point not to give up. ADS also got caught flat footed with that blast double off the whistle in the third. The ref screwed him but he still had chances. Tough loss, I feel bad for ADS, but he will not lose to Pletcher again.

I completely agree. I don't believe he likes to ride also, as he just wants to go, go, go and score some more. But, when you get a TD with less than 20-25 seconds to go, its beneficial to ride your opponent out and save that 1 point escape and its very important in big matches.I honestly don't think that he likes to ride. He has not interest in it, he's also looking over at TnT asking if he should do an optional start. I love his tenacity, but being able to keep an opponent down at the end of period is huge.
Also rewatching that I didn't realize how much pletcher wrestled with his left arm back as well. Shows desanto needs to develop more variety in his range of attacks but how can they (pletcher/rby) feel comfortable in their offense if they are literally wrestling with one hand behind their back. Pretty obvious who is being offensive in those matches
Burying your head into your opponent and driving him out of bounds is stalling.I wish the official could explain the stalling on Desanto's shot. The takedown at the end is a judgement that even if I disagree with I can also understand how judgement call can go. The stalling is bizarre though, maybe he just raised the wrong hand.
Oh I feel better now.Burying your head into your opponent and driving him out of bounds is stalling.
It's not as obvious as you think. If you go back and count the shots, Pletcher out shoots Desanto 11-9.Also rewatching that I didn't realize how much pletcher wrestled with his left arm back as well.

are you counting the edge of the mat throw bys as shots?It's not as obvious as you think. If you go back and count the shots, Pletcher out shoots Desanto 11-9.
I would agree that it is stalling if the only thing he is doing is pushing. But he was setting up all of his shots from driving forward so in that case it should not be stalling. As for the last takedown, it was a judgement call, but I do think ADS got his hand off the mat and Pletcher never got control. Hips were never covered and he never had ADS under control.Burying your head into your opponent and driving him out of bounds is stalling.
NCAA lets PSU break rules with scholarshipsYou can not watch this and not A) get your Blood Pressure up and B) not believe the Refs. are not bias against IOWA!
The very obvious call was the "shoot out" stalling on DeSanto.
Please watch the entire match closely. For example watch from the 8 minute mark. DeSantos on bottom working his ass off with pletcher doing nothing. Gets out at about 8;14 mark, immediately starts going after him. Pletcher backs away to the outa bounds and the Ref blows the whistle stopping the match and singles what exactly????
From where I am from, he signals POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS?????
All I can ASS-U-ME is he was afraid pletcher would keep backing up and Austin would drive his ass into the table!!!!!!
Counted the hip toss attempt and one of the slide by attempts as I felt it was a legit attempt and not just a look busy attempt.are you counting the edge of the mat throw bys as shots?

Pletcher tried that, he tried pushing back and tried circling back in bounds. Do you really think it is easy to push a guy out of bounds with legs like Pletcher has?Not redirecting the head and circling back to the middle is more egregious as far as stalling is concerned...remember there are ways to avoid getting pushed out of bounds.
Setting up shots by pushing someone to the edge? That's a good one, maybe he should work on his setups better.I would agree that it is stalling if the only thing he is doing is pushing.

Austin is great at controlling his inside tie and moving his opponents round the mat. Sometimes I think he gets his tie and pushes guys out just looking for a stall call but the stalling that is being referenced in this thread was a horrible call. ADS shot Pletcher off the mat and that should be calledagainst Pletcher 100% of the time.Pletcher tried that, he tried pushing back and tried circling back in bounds.

Desanto just buries his head and pushes people, that's not offense and by rule pushing someone out of bounds is indeed stalling.

The ref is smarter than an Iowa fan and saw him push Pletcher to the edge then do a fake shot to try to get a stall call. If he wanted to take a legitimate shot he would have taken it in the center where Pletcher could not escape.The stall being referenced in this thread, ADS literally lowered levels and took a shot, even got his arm around a knee, and Pletcher backed straight up out of bounds.
That is an indefensible stalling call on Austin.
If you want to call it action and give no stall calls to either guy, because Pletcher had been trying to circle in before that, then fine. But in what world is a legitimate shot attempt correctly called as stalling?

Is that you #4?
How can ADS have a legitimate shot in the center when Pletcher is running the whole time? I think the rules of action and stalling are to open for interpretation and create BS calls both ways. Get rid of them and have a pushout period! Are you telling me that Pletcher cant hold his own against a pushing bully? BS If they push you snap, circle, and secure a takedown.The ref is smarter than an Iowa fan and saw him push Pletcher to the edge then do a fake shot to try to get a stall call.

It's not as obvious as you think. If you go back and count the shots, Pletcher out shoots Desanto 11-9.
NCAA lets PSU break rules with scholarships
NCAA lets PSU break rules by paying their wrestlers too much at camps
NCAA lets PSU pay the student loans after these kids graduate with their slush fund
NCAA refs are bias against Iowa.
Does coming up with excuses ever get old?
