[@lexingtonconcord8751]

Lavalle was all class at the end. He squared up to Nolf and shook his hand and patted him on the back. That's awesome! Wish more wrestlers would handle defeat with the same class.

Nice job ESPN, in an NCAA finals match it took you until 15 seconds left in the first period to talk about it, instead choosing to interview Jordan Burroughs. What other sport would you do that to? Here we are in the basketball final of the NCAA tournament and for the first third of the game we’re going to interview a player from a team that won it 5 years ago. Very disrespectful to both wrestlers actually who made the final. Nothing against Burroughs at all but it’s the NCAA finals. Interview him perhaps during a quarterfinal, but If you don’t actually like wrestling and are excited about watching the final, let someone else broadcast it.

Imagine you are Lavallee's father, how difficult it must be to watch your son make it to the D1 NCAA finals, start reasonably competitive, only to be toyed with like he is a toddler in the end.

[@thxDornal]

I don’t think his dad thought it was gonna go different tbh

[@jaden_fisher]

He was doing good first period. D1 finalist is a huge accomplishment

[@xenonmaster6668]

@@jaden_fisher well what if the dad knew his son had absolutely 0 Chance if not a bit of a chance against Jason Nolf.

[@michaelnavarro9100]

I’d be proud, if you’re Lavallee’s dad leading up to the final your remembering the first wrestling practice you took him too, your thinking about when he came up too you & said “I made the varsity team. You remember all the long drives too wrestling camps, he’s all 4 of he’s State Championships & here he is in the NCAA Final, in he’s last match in college. I would be proud.

Its been 25+ yrs since I wrestled and i don't remember but shouldn't nolf have gotten a count even though it was still neutral...if my memory serves me right i thought if your opponent is touching you and your on your back and shoulders your being pinned...i understand its a scramble...3:00-3-3:25...he was on his shoulders for a decent amount of time...when would the ref get all close to see other than looking for the pin...and if the ref is doing that he should be counting. ...maybe someone can clarify...

[@thomasnations3251]

At the time of this match you had to have a tack down before you could receive back points. Now the rules have changed to what they call neutral danger zone so guys can get back points before a tack down.

[@triadknightswrestling1660]

@@thomasnations3251 Neutral danger zone allows you to score a takedown in those scramble positions if your opponents back is facing the mat for a 3 count. You still can't score nearfall points before a takedown. You can (and always could) get a pin without a takedown first (but that is almost never called).

[@lexingtonconcord8751]

@ 3:04 Does anyone need (or want) this annoying ref to keep saying "Neutral! Neutral! neutral!" There's NO NEED for it whatsoever!

[@ashtonburgess9673]

To let the guy prolly giving the position up knowledge to keep fighting instead of giving it up. It was nearly a takedown
