OK, let me preface this by saying I have never been a wrestler, never officiated a wrestling match, and quite frankly, can't stand the thought of 2 big sweaty guys rolling around on a mat together.
That being said, I went to the NFHS website to look up the online rule book. As best I can tell, the rule the official cited about having to penalize the wrestler for throwing his headgear, falls under the "unsportsmanlike conduct" rule in wrestling. Nothing I have read in the article or anything else indicates that this was done in an unsporting manner, but rather, it was a move of celebration. Sounds like a bull$hit call to me.
