Dave Hickson's Retiring (New)

Dave Hickson ‘Officially’ retired from NCAA wrestling this year (after this past 2009 NCAA DI championships)

Dave did the 125 Championship match with Nickerson(Cornell) and Donaho(Edinboro)..

Here are a couple of shots of Dave’s last duties.. (His last match) These were taken by Tony Rotundo

I’m sure Dave evaluated out well at the tournament… at least it looked that way to me..

There are some other nice pictures of Buffalo guys from the NCAA too…

Interesting Calls by Referees

(links provided by Pete Rao)

Note: As officials, we sometimes get challenged on our calls by coaches, spectators, and, yes, even wrestlers. Here are a few examples where perhaps viewers would be split in their opinion of the referee's decision. Turn on your sound!!!
