IMO if they pull any shirt now it would mean one of 3 things...
1. There is someone better in the room or coming in the future.
2. The coaches don't believe the team can be competitive in the next 4 years.
3. It might help the coaches keep their jobs.

5-10 loss for Diblasi. He tried to get a little too funky in some situations where Griffin was on top. Hopefully he takes away from that an appreciation for when you can expose your back to funk through something and when you can't.
Flo and Intermat both had him as a top 10 overall recruit for last year's class.
Round of Twelve Results:
133: Hall was down late but used a big throw with 20 seconds left to pull out an 11-8 win over Billy Rappo
141: Storr beat Luke Pletcher 5-3
157: Diblasi got funky at the wrong time and lost 5-10 to the 8 seed, Alex Griffin of Purdue.
7th Round Consolation Matchups:
133: Hall gets the 7 seed, NCAA Qualifier Cameron Kelly of Ohio.
141: Storr gets unseeded Nick Zanetta of Pitt.

1 & 3 I understand. Not sure if you are serious about #2. You don't recruit two top-3 classes back to back and not be competitive. With or without KJ, this team will be in Top 5 conversation/rankings for the next 4-5 years.
I think he forgot that while he can expose his back at will during scrambles from neutral, if he does that while the other guy is on top the ref can start a count. That second set of backpoints weren't necessarily a bad call by the ref, but I think Diblasi put himself there so he could power through and get the reversal.
I personally don't believe 2 is accurate but to those who are saying it's ok to pull Storrs shirt they might believe it. I also don't believe 1 is accurate in Storr or Parkers case. So I guess that leaves option 3 or leave the shirt on.
