Pretty sure that locking your hand around your other wrist is included the rule.

Agreed. They didn’t roll back riding time after the locked hands.
Looked like the riding time clock stopped when the outer official signaled the locked hands.
This. That whole thing was one big cluster. I pray he sees him again and beats him again at nationals
That has been an advantage for the top programs for at least since the early days of Dan Gable at Iowa......Thats why the same programs win natl championships and the wannabees never make it.....
But this can be built. PSU was nothing before Cael. TOSU created a championship team and one of the best RTCs in the country from the ground up.
well, it did take one of the most famous wrestlers ever as their coach and millions in facilities.
Well, my point was about riding time and I do not think it was kept correctly there.
I thought the neutral zone count could have started more quickly. But based on when he started the count, I do not think 2 points were earned. Lugo did roll to his back but then he rolled back—by rule the count re starts each time that happens. Also, there was no control for a takedown at the end. A couple more seconds and he probably gets it but that’s how the cookie crumbles.
Degen initiated no offense from his feet and that was my biggest problem with the match. Very tough to win against a good wrestler by playing strictly defense.
Ohio State also has some advantages, from an athletic department and geographic sense, that Iowa State doesn't have. Tom Ryan built that program up, but it also helps to have the support from such a large athletic department, while also being able to closely recruit Ohio and PA.
I agree though, for ISU to get to where they want, the Cyclone RTC needs to build to much bigger than it is. Bring in people to train in Ames, and this will bring in better recruits. I don't know the money situation for the RTC currently, but am also sure Dresser is doing what he can to build it up.
I agree with your assessment and also Cael Sanderson can recruit great wrestlers with just his name recognition, just like Johnny Orr did when he first got here at ISU....
I'm not saying anything about riding time. The 2 points were earned on the neutral zone count but the official wasn't going to go back and correct himself. It was a poorly officiated match
Degen has had no problem beating Lugo and others by "playing strictly defense" in the past
Degens offense is footsweeps, slide-bys, and funk. Hes really good at them, but sound kids like Lugo/Thomsen its not as effective.
I would argue it has been effective against Lugo as Degen is 2-1 (should be 3-0) against him...
Another thing to consider with Degen is he has really only been wrestling for a little over a month. He missed all summer after he had surgery and he is still working his way back into wrestling shape. He always gets better as the year goes on, and I have full confidence he will place high come March in Minneapolis.
