The following ten coaches were asked the exact same question: If you could tell the officials one thing at the officials meeting, what would it be?

Tom Brands, University of Iowa Head Wrestling Coach
I think they do a heck of a lot better job than what it sounds like I’m telling them during the match.

Barry Davis, University of Wisconsin Head Wrestling Coach
Call stalling. Because what it does is it makes everyone more aggressive and the better man’s going to win that way. The guy’s stalling, just call it. It’ s more exciting for the fans and everybody else.

The following 10 coaches were asked the exact same question: If you could change one thing about college wrestling what would it be?

Tom Brands, University of Iowa Head Wrestling Coach
It would be the weigh-in procedures and basically how they have done a disservice to nutrition in this sport.

Barry Davis, University of Wisconsin Head Coach
Stalling calls. Make the guys wrestle more. That’s all. It’s the best sport going right now. A lot of action. It’s such a good thing now. You don’t need to change much of it, just make guys wrestle.
