Tough*

I agree. I also think that Aaron Brooks had 2 near fall at 4:35

That was fleeing the mat and full stalling the last 14 seconds just running.

@@shimmzalmighty6641 which nearly 100% of wrestlers in the exact same situation as Brooks was in, would do the exact same thing, especially with the National Championship on the line.

@@D_Heidtke i don't disagree. Just typically see a quicker call in those situations.

@@shimmzalmighty6641 that’s pretending hidlay didn’t sit at the back of the mat the whole match

@Mike Betancourt, at what?

No Dan Gable

Terry Brands, Cael Sanderson, and John Smith are all olympic medalist. 2 gold medalist and Terry brands is one of the greatest usa wrestlers not to get a gold medal. As far as pure technique, I think John smith is the best. You cannot go wrong with any of the 3.

@@tropicalterrarium1742 terry is an idiot coach. His team are all trash dirty wrestlers. He needs thrown out for being a bad leader.

Just going on all night. watch the RBY match - to see that match go to OT on 3 stall calls with one set up by the other guy pushing RBY out of bounds. Terrible. I didn't see this match but heard the stall call in the fracas and though "ghee, I guess they're just screwing everyone".

oh. you mean like RBY and Starocci do, and almost all penn state wrestlers? lmao. foh w/ that bs

@@stammeh22 lmaoooooo you men rby and starocci who had the only takedowns of those matches cry some more buddy

@@urgirl8288 shocked that you're 14. fucktard

Don’t stall

It was NOT the stalling call that decided the match. Brooks decided to wrestle the entire match, while Hidlay decided to keep his ass on the line and stall the entire match, except the last 14 seconds where he had way too much energy to be running after Brooks that way. Otherwise, getting ahold of Brooks leg was extremely lucky. Even if in the middle of the mat, he wouldn't have been able to finish that takedown. To sum up, it was Hidlay's decision to stall so much. Brooks was just a much better wrestler.

11:31 the stalling call was right there... it was a warning either way who cares

@@Arcey333 You're right, I was wrong, didn't see it, I edited my comment.

This was cheap. Penn State must have paid this ref. So many suspect calls here.

They had 5 champs in 2017.

@jakbear It should have been 1 for fleeing the mat, but I believe Aaron Brooks had 2 near fall at 4:35

@@jakbear You can't be serious! Tell me, what did Hidlay do in that match? He backed up the whole match. You can't just back up until the last 30 seconds of a match and expect to win! In addition, let's say the refs don't miss any calls during this match, then Brooks gets those 2 back points that he should've got and then hitting him with a stall call at the end of the match would have meant nothing for Hidlay because Brooks would still win by 2

@dh140852 I agree.

I could see Shane Griffths in blue & white.

@@youarerightboss that's 2 pretty nice upgrades lol, we can only wish.

I think we'll see Shane Griffith at PSU next year

@@D_Heidtke Well That got Alex Facundo and Max Dean so that helps. Max won it!

😂

Don't stall then?

I'm just tired of fans screaming and crying about stalling when their wrestler is a losing even though the guy isn't pushing the envelope either.

He went to the edge to often trying to avoid the deadly ankle pick of Brooks. Should have stayed center mat. The call was necessary.

@@kolewinfield6048 ?? uhh. he full on is running away from hidlay at the end. That's real stalling.

@@stammeh22 it would've been a warning anyway, that's the reward for being the aggressor for the first 6 and a half minutes???

Same reason there wasn't 2 near fall points for Brooks earlier in the match. If everything is officiated correctly, Brooks still wins! Hidlay cannot wrestle passively, defensively for 2.5 periods and expect to win the match.

Me too. I turned my TV off because I noticed they were completely ignoring both a obvious takedown and a grabbing of the mat.

Should've been 2 back for brooks too, I'm pissed

Yea what about the back points??? This refs where be racists as fuck look at the bravo match at statcocci match

@@allanrojas9226 Oops who let a Democrat in? Five black champions STFU.

No backs 45 degrees not 90.

Just like if that wasn't 2 back points earlier in the match, then I don't know what is

@@D_Heidtke That's what made me mald a bit for Brooks.

yea very interesting

11:31

Difference in stalling for 25 seconds and 2.5 minutes

You have to get 2 stall calls for your opponent to be awarded a point. That can’t happen in ten seconds. Watch more wrestling videos, you’ll get it.

The fact that Hidlay got called for 2 stalls when he was the only one taking shots is a joke. I see 1 shot for the entire 7 minutes from Brooks. But based on how awful the officiating was at this tournament, it wasnt a total shock

@@pirates1235 that's. basically what happened to RBY at the end of his title match

@@willis1359 You’re right, that’s why rby actually won that match twice

@@raybocchino8050 Since you think that Hidlay is the only one who shot during this match... (Nice try to put misleading info out there) Match recap Period 1 recap Trent Hidlay backed out of bounds 4 times Period 2 Aaron starts on bottom, Trent attempts to pull Aaron out of bounds and is thrown to his back, no backs awarded. Scored 2 Rev 1 ES They start neutral Brooks fires off 4 unanswered shots, Hidlay backs off the mat twice. Period 3 Brooks releases Hidlay, 1 escape Hidlay stands out of bounds not returning until Brooks shoots him out of bounds. Hidlay backs up toward the line off the restart whistle, Brooks shoots again and Hidlay goes off the mat. :34 seconds left and Brooks continues to stalk Hidlay at the restart whistle. Hidlay dives in on a single, Brooks stuffs the head and attempts to kick out, his hand touches completely off the mat ending the sequence. NC State challenges, but Brooks hand touched off The mat. With 14 seconds remaining, Hidlay begins to pursue Brooks. The match ends 3-2 Brooks

They were out of bounds. Brooks should have stayed on bottom

@@raybocchino8050: no, Ray, no!

@@raybocchino8050 they were out of bounds before the dang takedown much less back points. but whatever.

@@deltonlowery812 it was a reversal, but yea, that's what I'm saying. These officials blew it big time all weekend

Damn straight, Penn State back in domination and back on top.

No reversal. Oob. When was the first stall warning?

@@flyfi41 Both wrestlers feet were completely OOB before the reversal, I didn't even notice that, refs could've easily missed it at first, but should've been noticed after review.

@@flyfi41 I can't find the first stall warning.

@@mikailm09, watched it live and I didn’t even notice. Thank you for telling me.

Haha no he won’t

@@J_S0711 Facts

Penn state kids keep getting better, NC state kids stay the same

Will win by larger margin in their rematch

Brooks has three more years of eligibility left.

Should’ve gave brooks near fall

They should have given Brooks two near fall points earlier in said match. I counted 3 seconds. So, two near fall should have been awarded for Brooks. Hidlay stalled the first two and a half periods, though.

Definitely agree with back points as well I think college would benefit from a momentum rule like freestyle shot clock etc. I just think it needs it personally they've changed alot already I don't think one more rule would change much and would eliminate people stalling out on feet for 2 min

Also rule would reward their aggression instead of depending on ref trying to get the stall calls which we all know 1st always gets awarded but how many times do u see the second but either way great tourney and love to see people threw around their views I love wrestling

@@dylanbue2913, officials should be impartial and call it both ways.

Brooks got called for stalling in the last stretch, pay better attention... doesn’t matter anyway he was the aggressor all match long and it was only a warning

@@Arcey333 he was the aggressor all match long? did you see the last 30 seconds? that's still part of the match, and he didn't even get a warning for fleeing the mat and then running like a banshee!

@@deltonlowery812 He did get called actually.

@@OnlyHater_S what about the obvious 2 best fall points that should have gone to Brooks in the second period.....

A lot harder to recruit when the nations best guys are 50% located within an hour of penn state. Not the point though. State is getting better. They are not a penn state level program yet, but compared to where we were 8 years ago, we have made massive progress. So keep disrespecting us because adversity fuels fires and breeds motivation.

@@goldenhawkalumni5341, you have Pennsylvania wrestlers and still lost. It's all about the coaching. Cael is on the top tier, then there's everybody else beneath him. You can't handle the truth. If the Hidlays were wise enough to attend Penn State they would have been multiple NCAA Champions by now. Hayden regressed.

@@youarerightboss, Cael is the best and I’m not denying that. However, not everyone who goes to Penn State wins titles. And also, we do have some PA wrestlers, but a lot of our team is from weird areas in the country. Bullard are Georgia. Renan is Texas. Cates is North Carolina. Camacho is Connecticut. And so on. As for Hayden, he hasn’t regressed, but he has been figured out. If he comes back, he’ll need to stop relying on his underhook. I’m objective. Also, programs take time to build. Penn State may have never won a title pre-2010, but you guys had been building up for years with talent. Cael becoming the coach put you guys to another level. Pre-Pop, we had a champion every ten years, but not one conference title for over 20 years prior. In short, we sucked. Enjoy your victories, but be gracious in doing so. It’s not like we ever did anything to you.

@@goldenhawkalumni5341, just messing with you, man. Much respect to NCST Wolfpack. You guys stole the Hidlays from us,😤😡😠😋 LOL.

@@youarerightboss, mission accomplished. With that understood, that was a hell of a statement you guys sent yesterday. Iowa may be the best team, but your teams YOUNG YOUNG. It will be insane to see the continued progression from those that didn’t too the podium yesterday. And while I hope next year we can get a state guy or two to beat one of yours in the final, your teams future has never looked brighter. Also, any penn state guys wrestling at the Olympic trials?

If it should have been fleeing, then it also should have been 2 near fall points for Brooks in the 2nd period.

@@D_Heidtke and even then Brooks would’ve still won it.

He wrestled at the edge for most of the mat with no stall calls, I disagree

The NC State Kid wrestled passively, defensively on the edge of the mat the whole match. In the second period, he gave up a reversal and OBVIOUS 2 near fall points to Brooks that was not called. So, NO the NC State Kid did not & should not have won the match.

Nolf knew he was taking down by Hayden and the match last night should have been tied at the end. Those two young men are nothing but class acts.

What I find ridiculous is: 1) the ref called stalling with 1 min left in a national title match. Why did they feel they needed to insert themselves. Beside its highly debatable if he was even stalling. 2) brooks started running at the 1 min mark. The refs never even called a warning for stalling on Brooks? 3) as they went out of bounds books grabbed the side of the matt. I mean- isn’t that the definition of stalling. 4) lastly, how is it that the commentators never even commentated on any of this?

@@sonicwise They really should have just called the stalling earlier in the match. It only got good when they finally made Hidlay stop backing out.

@@tannermarriott8903 He wrestled the edge of the mat, Brooks was running big difference

@@bradtodd3832 i totally agree. but i still think hidlay should have gotten called for stalling in the second and then maybe a fleeing the mat on brooks in the third. would have been a fun overtime. i do think brooks is the better wrestling though. if you watch the RBY match you know the stalling call is pretty inconsistent.

@@tannermarriott8903 Yeah very inconsistent, also, when and where have you seen any of the ole refs calling a fleeing the mat call? I like when that rule was supposed to be enforced, but nobody calls it, ever..

Lmao salty

@@freeninj1369 agreed. They’re just mad that Penn State went for four last season and now I’ve gone by five this year and come back to win the championship again.
