I yelled and complained about that official more last night then I have ever, and I have been around the Sport since 1970. I have not re-watched the match yet but am I alone in thinking this guy was slow to call obvious stalls. Although I did see a call or two go in PSU's favor buy in my homer opinion I believe that he seemed to be trying to give the match to fOSU. Examples from my memory with my blue and white glasses are as follows.
1. Kuhn looked to have almost pinned Tomesello defensively twice and the official seemed to not even notice.
2. After Keener gave up two takedowns in the first, Phletcher never made an offensive move for the last 5 minutes of the match and received two stall calls, i've seen two stalls awarded in 20 seconds before. Am I Off base?.
3. McKenna deserved to win the match Nick made a freshmen mistake on the edge of the mat with short time, however, maybe a stall warning for lack of any offense for 1:45 in the third but I'm ok with that. This match a scramble position was stalemated for 20 seconds before the official called it at the end of the match but seemed that in the later matches stalemates (Other than Nickal) were called quicker.
4. Zain's match I could have sworn that the official award two nearfall on a four count. Any wow was he slow to award the points.
5. I am not sure about Campbell but Bo Jordan took exactly 0 shots in three periods. I counted. Campbell may have touched Joseph's leg once but I don't remember him shooting he did give one stall point in this match.
6. The scramble where is seemed as though Martin had the advantage was allowed to go on forever. Once Bo improved his position and seemed to be comming around it was stopped. Not saying it should not have been stopped just say 30 seconds earlier.
7. How many shots did Moore take in 3 periods. I believe he it tied with Bo Jordan. Again no offense and no action by official.
8. The potentially dangerous position Nick had on Capt. America had me cringing in my seat. Should have been stopped immediately but I'm still suffering from PTSD thanks Mr. Van Brill.
So. am I a Ficker?
