NCAA proposals address video review, medical forfeits, hands to the face, more
The NCAA Wrestling Rules Committee offered some proposed rule changes Monday to address some hot-button issues that have made headlines — and rankled some athletes, coaches and fans. Among the sometimes controversial issues these rule-change proposals take on: the matside video review process … medical forfeits … and calls for stalling, and for hands-to-the-face. What’s more, committee has proposed relaxing current hair requirements … and offered yet another option to the singlet which has been the standard college wrestling uniform for nearly a half-century.
Note: the following are merely proposals, not actual rule changes. NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel is scheduled to discuss all wrestling rules proposals via teleconference June 13. If the proposals are approved in mid-June, the new rules will go into effect for the 2019-20 college wrestling season.
Video review challenge could result in a stall penalty
The matside video review challenge process has drawn some heat, especially at the 2019 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The NCAA Wrestling Rules Committee has proposed a change, which, if approved the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, where a coach’s unsuccessful video review challenge would result in a stalling warning for that coach’s wrestler. If the wrestler has received a prior stalling warning, the unsuccessful challenge could result in the loss of a point. “Committee members think this will reduce the number of frivolous challenges and improve the flow of individual matches,” according to the NCAA announcement.
Medical forfeits could mean a loss of match
The NCAA Wrestling Rules Committee has proposed that a medical forfeit would result in a loss on the record of the wrestler unable to compete. “Counting medical forfeits as a loss was seen as a better indicator of the wrestler’s overall season success,” according to the explanation provided by the Committee. “Additionally, this would provide for improved communication between the wrestler, medical personnel and coach as to the wrestler’s readiness to enter competition.”
A newly revised penalty sequence for stalling violations
Here’s how the Committee described its proposal to “tweak” (their word) to streamline penalties for stalling violations: Rest of the proposals and story at http://intermatwrestle.com/articles/21870?fbclid=IwAR3AeIPS3f0fFt9ygd6tA1isOUhuPLQXfk9kG6Nduwutl28PNcRRvpxdA6g
Family mat-ters: Father-son coaching duo Bob, Tyler Gonzales to lead rival wrestling programs
TDR Editor’s Notes ; An interesting story that will develop over the upcoming matches and seasons. We look forward to seeing how it goes. The state of Kansas has two good wrestling coaches and promoters here.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For as long as he can remember, Tyler Gonzales has looked to Bob Gonzales as a coach, confidant, mentor and, most of all, a devoted father. When the 2019-20 high school wrestling season rolls around, Tyler and Bob will add another element to their father-son dynamic — squaring off as rivals.
Tyler Gonzales, who won a Class 5A state championship for his dad at Shawnee Heights in 2004, has accepted the position of head wrestling coach at Junction City, archrival of Manhattan, where Bob has coached for the past 14 years. Tyler, 32, informed his father and other family members of his decision during a recent dinner in downtown Topeka. “We were all out at dinner and I started telling everybody what my choice was going to be and I think the initial look on my dad’s face was a little bit of shock,” Tyler Gonzales said. “But then we started talking, and I think how me and my dad have started looking at this moving forward is we’d rather wrestle each other and have to fend each other off for a state title than some Wichita or Kansas City school.
“We’ve had the uniqueness of him being in my corner when I won a state title and him being in my corner when I wrestled for my second. We’re shared some really cool opportunities, and we’re just kind of chalking this up as something else that we get to share with each other.” Bob Gonzales admitted that he was surprised when Tyler first told him he was headed to Junction City, but he is confident the Blue Jays are getting a good young coach.

Chiefs area scout Terry Delp explains selection of OL Nick Allegretti
The Chiefs have a recent history of drafting and developing offensive linemen in the late rounds of the NFL draft. Nick Allegretti looks to be the next player in that line of success. His versatility is a nice bonus for the Chiefs. “His best tape was at guard because he’s just a big, physical, mauler type guy,” Delp explained. “He’s really fun to watch, he gets after it, plays football hard. But he is athletic enough and versatile enough, you saw it in the East West (Game) to play center and he did a really good job at it.
“He played a little heavier during the year, so guard looked better and he lost some weight for the all-star game and looked really good at center. Definitely looking at a two-position guy in the NFL.” One thing that influenced the Chiefs decision on Allegretti was his background as high school wrestler. It informs his understanding of leverage in a big way. “It’s one of the first things we look at, we have to type in a report of high school stuff and wrestling is one of them,” Delp said. “You get excited when you see that in an offensive lineman because they understand leverage, it’s a mindset, it’s toughness. They really get an understanding of leverage so it’s a plus for sure.” Rest of the story at
