    The 3-Point Takedown - Folkstyle's Sea Change

    Not the point. ”Given that a counter move is highly likely after any initiated takedown attempt, there is no reason to think increasing the value of a TD will increase activity so long as the risk is equally increased”

    The 3-Point Takedown - Folkstyle's Sea Change

    But my point is that so long as the aggressor scores no more points than the defender, there is no way to shuffle the deck and see wrestlers become more aggressive in neutral. Aggressive wrestlers have to be rewarded in some way to change things.

    The 3-Point Takedown - Folkstyle's Sea Change

    I have every confidence that this could be interpreted by an official. Watch about twenty matches and tell me it isn’t obvious who initiated action every time. Either way, so far as the risk is equal to the reward there is little incentive to be aggressive from neutral.

    The regular season was not particularly good, which I think is a better indicator of where the team is. One nice run in the tournament is fun, but fans shouldn’t skyrocket their expectations over it. Let’s see how the next three seasons go. Then we will know what expectations to have. In the...

    *****Iowa vs Illinois NCAAT Game Thread*****

    VOTE: Illinois or IOWA? Which team advances to the Final Four? Illinois opens as 6.5 point favorite

    ChatGPT also told me that the last time Iowa made the Elite Eight they did it by defeating UNLV then lost to Oklahoma State. It’s not great at that kind of stuff, so I would double check.

    LIVE look at Clown U fans after losing in the Sweet 16 while Iowa advanced to the Elite 8

    Honestly that’s a pretty reasonable take for a drunk guy.

    Refs are supposed to check for the correct number of players on court. View AI search; did they screw up the do-over?

    until someone quotes a rule I am going with what other officials have said. Given that it was a dead ball situation, good officiating would include telling the coach he is short. But there is no rule - that’s just what officials have decided is good form. as for “do overs” lol. Gtfo.
