I've hauled kids around to wrestling tournaments for over 15 years. I know wrestling is an emotional sport but I've watched this kid wrestle at two separate tournaments recently and he might exhibit the WORST sportsmanship that I've ever seen. Not surprised since his coach was acting the same after he got beat. What an embarrassment to not only his school but the sport of wrestling as well. Wrestling teaches you discipline, mental toughness and resilience, the ability to face problems head on AND respect for others. Absolutely uncalled for behavior!!

This is not the forum for this. Whether it's your intention to shame or help this child, this is not the right way. I believe that coaches have a duty to educate their athletes. If the coach isn't doing his/her job, get in touch with an administrator and start an investigation. There is a chain of command and these issues are best handled in house, not on a public forum. This only causes resentment and shame.

Agreed. After that crazy display and embarrassment by that kid at gut check, people need to get in touch with principals and athletic directors. I’m sure they’ve been contacted, if not it needs to be documented. These schools that are refusing to discipline and have all these reports are waiting for a major lawsuit if these kids end up really hurting somebody. Administration needs to be contacted if coaches don’t self report.

So be it. There are consequences for negative actions too. Mentioning it on here is not a crime and there are far worse things that are speculated or talked about on here.

What "far worse things that are speculated or talked about on here" are you talking about? Can you give us an example? This place seems pretty sedate. What did I miss?

The woman coach that was at the Banks Lake Brawl was walking around acting just like him, cussing and running his mouth non-stop. Real classy...
