stalling?

If the offensive wrestler pushes the bottom man out with the intent to prevent an escape or reversal, it is a technical violation and a penalty point. I will allow it one time under the guise of not knowing where he was on the mat, etc. If it happens again, ding, he gets no warning, just the TV and the penalty point to the defensive wrestler. Tough call to make because it is your judgment, but if you think he did - he probably did! I would not consider stalling here as an option. There are other areas where stalling would come into play - I don't think this is one of them.
