OK fair enough, today it is considered a courtesy. You host you have one, you travel you expect one. Still doesn't explain where the hospitality room started. Which wrestling icon was the great innovator of such an idea. I wonder if John Case beer or Bill the ancient coach from Bishop Blanchet, know some history about it. Which coach was tired of getting 5 or 6 local teams at his tournament? How to get teams make a long road trip for different competition? Free food and a quiet room for a quick break. It had to start somewhere and I am curious.
