I don’t love rewarding just pushing a guy and trying to score by pushing someone.
You should score on an offensive move IMO but I understand needing to get action and penalize inactive wrestlers. I think the currently stall rules aren’t bad in college.

It's not so much attacking stalling as it is attacking edge wrestling which is a form of stalling.
Love 1 and 2, but what if instead of a lost point with a lost challenge it was something like giving opponent choice of position?
I get it but I still don’t like rewarding just pushing a guy out of bounds. That shouldn’t ever be a strategy to score points in wrestling. Especially if trying to grow the sport.
I get not constantly backing up but when a guy is just constantly pushing forward yet not really setting anything up I don’t think that is being more offensive either. This is not Sumo.
3 point options from bottom shouldn’t exist.
If you wanted 3 points, should’ve executed a TD.
I like the push out and challenge deal.
I agree on the idea, but honestly it’s still too subjective and has too much variance depending on the ref.
So why forever were takedowns and reversals the same value?
to create more offense which actually didn't happen. It actually allowed the first guy to get a TD to coast more.
The law of unintended consequences.
Agreed. A point is just too big of an edge. If I trusted refs to get it right on review then that would be one thing but I don’t. Coaches could be right on the review and still lose the challenge. That would put the kid at an huge disadvantage and could lose him the match.
That was the point of my post.
I do think it has created more scoring attempts, but elite guys competing are playing chess.
