Acceptable Results
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2023 10:50 pm
Now let’s talk about acceptable results.
Is being 12th out of 13 in the Big 12 tournament an acceptable result? No of course not but that is a small piece of the whole picture. The team was without their best wrestler and the next best wrestler was unable to compete the second day due to a very serious illness. These two would have accounted for serval more points. The team did put a total of 5 guys on the podium which was an improvement and they qualified 7 for the national tournament. That in itself is big improvement.
People want to see more improvement and better results but no one will say what they expect to see. Personally I think the recruiting has improved dramatically over the last several years and they are able to pick up a few high quality transfers. It’s not exciting and is not instant results but once you get better athletes coming in the results will follow.
If you are wanting to see better results, put it out there and tell us what you expect.
