Iowa State Wrestling Tournament

The Register's latest 3A article has a lot on Coleman and Teske.
I've copied the Coleman parts below. The first part is on Teske. Teske is not only about the same weight, and same year as Alex Thomsen and has the same number of titles, but similarly expresses larger ambitions, as in international competition.
Kudoes to Marcus Coleman and all the Iowa State recruits:

And Schmit was a defending state champ as well so all 3 of Thomsen's titles came against previous champions. I can't think of another instance like that. Very impressive.
FYI, I watched Donny Schmitt and Henderson go into overtime at a north Butler tourney about a month ago. Don't know the wapsie crowd, but they came across as dbags in that one. I'm not north Linn either. Son's team was also at the tourney, and we didn't have one wrestling at the time and the crap Strom unfolded right in front of me. North Linn coaches weren't really amazing either.
That match was the epitome of a ref interjecting himself into a match.That 3A 220 ending....yow.for regulation and OT (based off the online stream footage).
Interviews after the matches were awful, and the guy asked Leisure a question about Dresser, which is dumb because it hasn't been confirmed yet, but Leisure gave a great answer. Basically said that he was ready to get to Ames and get to work, no matter who the coach is. Perfect way to answer a bad question.
McCool was beyond awful. Has that been happening for long?
Was McCool running the interviews broadcast throughout the arena that Tony Hager referred to on Twitter (asking if people watching on TV could see them)? Just before one of the earlier medals presentations, the stream came back from commercial a little early and I could hear the tail end of one interview but that was it.
IAWrestle got some great candid interviews in the tunnels from a mix of winners, losers, and coaches throughout the finals and a ton of interviews with other placewinners and competitors throughout the week.

Agreed IAWrestle did an amazing job with interviews, web postings, etc. Bet Tony was on one wicked high yesterday with all the Dresser leaks and state wrestling. Anyone check on him? His heart might have exploded
A guy that looked like Michael Moore was doing live interviews after matches. Was painful all the way around.
This. That was a total BS stalling call that came immediately after Wriedt took his shot. What's Lombardi supposed to do when he's up by 1 with seconds to go and the other guy takes a shot? Let Wriedt get the takedown?
Also, the reactions of both wrestlers said a lot. Wriedt was a total tool about winning (especially given that he shouldn't have even made it to OT), and Lombardi shook the referees' hands and didn't complain one bit. That alone tells me that Lombardi was the one who deserved to win the title.
I've been to the last 4-5 finals and this is the first I've seen it. Don't know if they'd done it before, but I doubt it.
After watching Wriedt the past two seasons, it's pretty obvious that he's just a tool in general. Stories I've heard have done nothing but verify that for me.
Furthermore, he's beaten Lombardi and Ethan Anderson in the past two finals, who both have been class acts in defeat, even after getting shoved after the whistle into the scorer's table. Kid does stuff like that in every match I've seen him wrestle.
Agree. To me it looked like Wriedt was trying way too hard to prove a point. His "break you" gesture, plus screaming in Rocky's face, was very douchey.
Rocky did a very good job of keeping his cool. Almost like "congrats you won a controversial match, but I have many bigger athletic goals in my future."
That was awful. Really, really bad.
One other thing they gotta change is the video board. Why show live video? We are there in person for a reason. The live video was so big you couldn't see the scores. Just show the names, school, color, score. That or make the board bigger...
