Delayed call on slam

[jreg]

Had a similar situation in a college match where the offensive wrestler picked up the defensive wrestler....as he walked near the edge of the mat, the whistle blew and he dropped his opponent. It was nothing malicious or intentional, but when he dropped his opponent, near the edge of the mat, his cheek and temple his the hard surface of the floor....guess what....he's woozy and eventually out cold. First reaction,bring his coach out....second reaction was responding to the coach's comment: "I'm really going to be interested in what you call here!" third reaction....talk to the offensive wrestler's coach...advised....I am calling a slam because your kid has the obligation to return his opponent to the mat safely.....he responded, if the "drop" had occurred in the middle of the mat would it still be slam....response...yes, if the kid went unconcious...the moral of the story is this....taking your time to get it right is not a problem.
