I know this is an old thread but I just joined and I wanted to comment. I had a wrestler in the regionals last year that had a wrestler in an arm bar and the wrist on the arm bar arm with a tight waist. The defensive kid was behind by two points and was trying very hard to get out but was ironed out flat by the offensive wrestler. The offensive wrestler was content to stay where he was and did not try to turn the bottom wrestler at all. I told him to improve his position two or three times in a period of about a minute. I warned him for stalling after there was no attempt and I did hear it from his coach but in my opinion he was stalling with or without the pinning combination. There has to be an attempt to turn even if it is half hearted. All he was doing was protecting a lead, not wrestling.
