You also do not get stall calls based on the number of fans

Screaming for them, a common misconception amongst many fans. ** Edited by GreenvilleVT at 2/16/2026, 9:25:54 AM

Always so interesting and proves two things.
Hokie Flyer • 02/15/26 04:41 PM ET
I thought the officiating was fairly consistent
Nafeikoh • 02/15/26 04:47 PM ET
Today was well officiated according to NCAA rules**
AirborneHokie96 • 02/15/26 06:16 PM ET
The double stall on Ethen was garbage.
Hokiemacho • 02/16/26 12:00 AM ET
It was called how the rules are written

As an official on the mat, I deny that coaches and fans influence me!
AirborneHokie96 • 02/16/26 09:17 AM ET
and I'm still going to yell for a TD call, swipes, etc. any time it's
donjfs3 • 02/16/26 12:12 PM ET
I know it has to be tough to stay on top of changes.
GreenvilleVT • 02/16/26 09:25 AM ET
Boys and Girls rules are just so different
AirborneHokie96 • 02/16/26 09:32 AM ET
I hate the lack of continuation in high school girls lacrosse.
GreenvilleVT • 02/16/26 09:41 PM ET
Fouls should be treated with a flag (held whistle)
AirborneHokie96 • 02/17/26 06:59 AM ET
Maybe it’s just South Carolina but they don’t get any continuation here.
GreenvilleVT • 02/17/26 10:26 AM ET
I wasn't a fan of either the second or third stall call.
nvpbrown • 02/16/26 12:53 AM ET
Isn't this how Spratley beat EV in the NCAA semis last year? This is taught**
goodbadugly • 02/16/26 10:44 AM ET
I was fine with the second stall, but ideally the referee recognizes that…
CTDad • 02/16/26 09:20 AM ET
Smart tactics by OKS... we need to adjust.**
Palmetto Hokie • 02/16/26 08:51 AM ET
Agree was good match**
texashokie1 • 02/15/26 04:59 PM ET
The stall on Merrill was an iffy one
donjfs3 • 02/15/26 04:50 PM ET
That escape only looked questionable because Sasso was lazy/slow
HokieSean24 • 02/15/26 06:40 PM ET
Agree 100% - especially with where he was on the mat**
donjfs3 • 02/15/26 06:49 PM ET
I don't understand the deciding sequence at 197.
nvpbrown • 02/15/26 05:02 PM ET
The sequence
Nafeikoh • 02/15/26 05:17 PM ET
Replay is up now and you are right.
nvpbrown • 02/15/26 05:30 PM ET
He didn’t do enough to get a takedown.
GreenvilleVT • 02/15/26 07:50 PM ET
I wasn't trying to say that the OSU wrestler earned a takedown.
nvpbrown • 02/15/26 11:13 PM ET
The sequence in question was as follows…
CTDad • 02/15/26 06:13 PM ET
OSU had about 30 seconds of riding time at the end of the sequence.
nvpbrown • 02/15/26 06:16 PM ET
After watching the replay, you are correct.
CTDad • 02/16/26 09:23 AM ET
Interesting decision to stand Sasso up though. **
TartanHokie • 02/15/26 05:26 PM ET
It was called a stall, not sure if it was an escape or if Merrill cut him**
